    Gardening is not just a hobby; it’s a lifelong passion that connects us with nature, nurtures our creativity, and provides both physical and emotional benefits. Whether you’re tending to a small balcony garden, nurturing a sprawling backyard plot, or cultivating a thriving indoor space, the practice of gardening offers a sense of accomplishment and peace. However, many gardeners approach the craft with the misconception that it’s a seasonal activity limited to the warmer months. In reality, gardening is a year-round endeavor, full of possibilities, no matter the season. 
"Gardening for All Seasons: A Year-Round Guide" aims to break the traditional cycle of gardening by encouraging a continuous, mindful approach to your garden throughout the year. By understanding how different seasons impact your plants and soil, you can learn to work with nature’s rhythms, enhancing your gardening experience and yielding stronger, healthier plants. This guide offers practical advice, seasonal tips, and sustainable gardening practices that can be applied at any time of the year. 
Each season brings with it unique challenges and opportunities. In spring, the garden bursts to life, and your focus will shift to planting, nurturing, and preparing for the growth ahead. Summer requires a balance between providing water, managing heat stress, and staying on top of maintenance. Fall is the time for harvesting and preparing the garden for its seasonal rest, while winter offers the chance to reflect and plan for the upcoming year. But the key to thriving in these transitions lies in consistent care and adaptation. By cultivating the right mindset and tools, you can manage your garden through every season, reaping the rewards of your labor no matter the month.

    Another in a series (including From the Top, Roughneck Grace, Million Billion, and Peaceful Persistence) of collected brief essays by New York Times bestselling author and humorist Michael Perry. "Although these pieces were written during times of unrest and pandemic, they drew on human connection," says Perry. "Week after week, slowly at first, and then regularly, I received messages, emails, comments, and sometimes even a handwritten note from readers who weren't looking to me for advice or a 'take' on the latest news blast or controversy or tragedy or variant. Instead they said they were grateful for a brief break from it all. Something to go with their morning coffee. Something to read before bed. Something heartfelt, something goofy. Something that was anything but that other thing. Something to lighten the hunker."
