Creating Sanctuary: Sacred Garden Spaces, Plant-Based Medicine and Daily Practices to Achieve Happiness and Well-Being

In this uplifting guide, bestselling author Jessi Bloom inspires people seeking a stronger connection to nature to turn their outdoor spaces into personal sanctuaries for health and wellness. When people seek a connection to nature, they often assume they have to go somewhere else to find it. Creating Sanctuary shows readers how to tap onto the powerful healing powers of their own gardens - no matter the size of the space. Jessi Bloom explores multiple strains of traditional plant wisdom to help people live their best lives and reinvigorate their senses. Readers will learn intentional design strategies for the home and garden, how to use plants for the nourishing properties they provide, and daily practices and rituals.
