'In the collective consciousness and choices of individual gardeners lies a great power to heal or sicken the earth that supports us.' The garden is a microcosm of the world outside. Chris Maser shows how every issue that comes up as a choice for the gardener comes up in a greater way in the world around. The choices the gardener makes influence how the world develops, socially as well as environmentally. Zane Maser takes us further into the practical use of the garden, and shows how it can be used as a place for meditation. Somewhere where we can go within ourselves and find peace. This book is re-empowering and packed with information. We also become very attached to the central character: the authors' own domestic garden, humble but well-kept. "The World is in My Garden" is illustrated throughout, with line drawings and black and white photographs. Chris is the author of forest primeval and vision and leadership in sustainable development.
