An interesting perspective on gardening techniques and philosophy. The text is a bit heavy, and it could be broken up with more pictures.

More people have pagan thinking and habits that they just don’t realize. This book helps show you how to be more in touch with yourself. Gardening and a pagan lifestyle have many crossovers.

This was weird but a really good read. I really enjoyed getting into it and making my way through it very quickly.

I'm really enjoying this one (and reading each section according to the season). The reason I'm not buying it for my library is that it's based around the seasons and plants in England, which do not match up with those in New England where I live. If my library were bigger, I'd still include it for variety, but I'm really limited on space. It's chatty and not very linear, which I could see being appealing to some and irritating to others.

Such a fascinating book and I learned so much about paganism and gardening and ways to be more in tune with the world! Loved reading this!

Informative, well researched and full of ideas and hints.
I loved this book as I'm a keen gardener and I loved how it helps you to garden in a way that is respectful of Nature and how it is related to the Wheel of Time.
Highly recommended.
Many thanks to the publisher and Netgalley for this ARC, all opinions are mine

Quick, easy, informative, and enjoyable read! I am a pagan and a gardener. I love findiing and reading books on the old, new, ways, Elen Sentier also offers insight into paganism in bite-sized, understandable portions for non-pagans. It's well-written, with lots of great gardening nature's way advice and instruction. I wish the book could have been longer with some photos. But overall, I did enjoy this book and look forward to rereading it this winter.

I found this an enjoyable and fascinating way to find out more about pagans and a different way to approach gardening. The author uses her own experiences for taking you through each season - 8 seasons in the pagan calendar, not 4! - and sharing lists of different jobs to do at that time, along with plants looking their best or ready for planting at that time.

I really found the pagan side of the book enlightening and has now got me interested in finding out more about pagans as I found myself connecting with many of her ways! She explains about pagan holidays and celebrations, alongside meditations and rituals that you can easily follow.

But at the heart of the book is a year of gardening tips and hints, and learning more about the plants she uses in her garden that can also be used in cooking, rituals etc. I really liked her approach to the world and gardening - she let her garden evolve to suit her needs at different times instead of being very rigid with her planning and structure.

I like the mix of family anecdotes throughout, and am sure this book is best read in stages, especially to correlate with the time of the year it relates to, which will help you garden well. It looks at different flowers and vegetables for each season, along with meanings of them for medicinal purposes so I've learnt a little more about certain plants in my garden, and ones I want to add in the future!

An absolutely wonderful book, containg a wealth of information in addition to gardening. Brilliant, I really enjoyed it. Thank you to netgalley and the publishers for giving me a copy of the book.

I really wanted to like this book because I absolutely LOVE the Practically Pagan line and anything with Gardening for a kitchen witch is great. HOWEVER - this was a freaking text book and whoever formatted this for kindle did a terrible job (read it on NetGalley Shelf instead). Personally for me I like my pagan/wiccan books to have some illustrations or pictures. There is a lot more science in here for example on page 78 there is the discussion of the atmosphere blend and while that is great I am not going to utilize that information in my practice.

This is for the super science pagan - not for the easy practitioners like myself
