The earth is the gardener s canvas; the arrangement, care, and cultivation of all the elements in the garden constitute the gardener s medium, the gardener s art form. All art begins with inspiration, the breathing in of ideas, visions, and energy from the Master Creator of the universe. When we come to the garden, we offer our talents and present our willingness to engage in this hard but satisfying work. Then we wait in expectation for that inspiration for how we should garden, and how we should live. Based on wisdom learned while cultivating her own garden, Garden Graces is Janice Elsheimer s hope and help for growing things. Filled with practical insights, reliable gardening information, and Bible-based truths, this resource will offer readers gardening tips alongside metaphors for life that will help them cultivate their gardens and their spiritual journey.For those who find themselves pursuing the perfect bulb or pulling the persistent weed, Elsheimer s charm and grace in the garden will help you recognize that nowhere else do we experience the oneness between the Creator and creation as intimately as we do in the garden.
