"A tender ode to the passage of time, to the quiet ways in which nature anneals and consecrates our human nature, and an exquisite testament to the personal as the supreme portal to the universal." —Maria Popova, writer

"Wise, profound and beautiful. It will unlock your soul."—Seth Godin, author of The Song of Significance

“While culture drags us toward the artificial, Millman returns us to real intelligence: nature’s rhythm of planting, patience, bloom. This book is a modern Gift from the Sea, reminding us that all the joy, wisdom, peace and magic we need is right here in forests, in neighborhoods, in backyards, in a single seed. As Millman awakens our awe for the miraculous planet, perhaps we’ll also find the drive to save it.”—Glennon Doyle, author of Untamed

“I needed this passionate love letter—a gorgeous reminder to plant, tend, endure, wait, and discover, because only then will we gather our most nourishing dreams.”—Min Jin Lee, author of Pachinko, finalist for the National Book Award

“Gardening, like love and cooking, is a contract with hope. It doesn't matter if you have a small garden or a large garden or no garden: we all need this delightful, beautiful book now more than ever. With wonderful recipes born from the combination of affection and flavor, Love Letter to a Garden is the story of what it means to plant the seeds of sustenance and watch them grow into nourishment not only for the body but the soul.”—Elissa Altman, author of Motherland

“Love Letter to a Garden is bold, beautiful, brilliant, and deeply personal. I have never read a book that at once makes me want to plunge my hands in the soil, hug my beloved, and cook a meal.” —Jacqueline Woodson, author of Brown Girl Dreaming, winner of the National Book Award

"Oh, what a book! Debbie Millman is a living love letter—to creativity, curiosity, and the importance of paying exquisitely careful attention. You will find her wisdom here, you’ll see her artistry, but most importantly, you’ll encounter her singular heart, gloriously and abundantly on display.” —Mariska Hargitay & Peter Hermann, Actors & Activists
