Step into a world where wildflowers whisper secrets, rivers hum lullabies, and maple leaves teach us how to let go. Growing Gardens is a playful, poignant anthology of poetry and prose that brings together the wonders of the wilderness with the raw complexities of human emotion.
In these pages, every poem is a seed-planted in the soil of resilience, watered with struggle, and nurtured by perseverance. With tender honesty and vivid imagery, J.C. Johnston explores themes of identity, sexuality, disability, and the messy beauty of being human. Whether you've ever felt like a flower wilting in the shade or a tree standing tall through the storm, these verses will remind you: growth is never linear, but it's always worth it.
Growing Gardens is an invitation to bloom-no matter where you're rooted.
About the Author
J.C. Johnston is a poet, adventurer, and nature enthusiast who feels most at home paddling through quiet lakes, trekking forest trails, or setting up camp deep in the backwoods. Originally from Montreal, Canada, Johnston draws inspiration from the challenges of wilderness exploration, using the ebb and flow of nature as a mirror for life's emotional journeys. Whether it's the crunch of autumn leaves underfoot or the call of loons at dusk, these moments find their way into Johnston's words. When not writing or wandering the wild, she's likely jamming out to classic rock and watching Gilmore Girls.
