Who knew a garden could be so smart?

Rabbi Plotkin is approaching middle age. His children are self-sufficient teens, and his large congregation is running efficiently and effectively. He should be happy and satisfied at where he is in life, yet he knows something is missing.

He used to wake up to anxiety and long to-do lists. Now he wakes up concerned about his zucchinis. The change baffles him until he realizes he has a need to nurture, and right now the zucchinis are the only things that really need him. This is the first of many life lessons the garden teaches him about himself and the world around him.

This book is a narrative memoir that will inform your life, amuse you in the process, and maybe even give you the itch to grow a zucchini!

Industry Reviews

"I finished the book. I enjoyed it. His love and understanding of gardening and of people is highlighted throughout his book. I enjoyed his wisdom and observations of life and the parallels of gardening and living." Jennifer Taylor, actress

"Wonderfully accessible, engaging, and full of lessons learned from a life of giving to others. Enlightening, topical and humorous, the stories in this book will make you smile and nod in recognition of life's simplest, and at times unacknowledged, lessons." - Stella Harvey, author (Finding Callidora and others) and mentor at Simon Fraser University Writers Studio.

"This delightful book reveals the wisdoms waiting for us in our gardens:

lessons in patience and timing, getting through difficult beginnings, listening deeply to

oneself in the midst of the life around us. All this and more." - Dr. Craig Chalquist, professor and co-editor of Ecotherapy: Healing with Nature in Mind.
