The Celestial Garden
Growing Herbs, Vegetables, and Flowers in Sync with the Moon and Zodiac
In The Celestial Garden, longtime gardener and herbalist Jane Hawley Stevens explains how the movement of the moon through the constellations of the zodiac provides a detailed calendar of optimal times for planting seeds, roots, and transplants, as well as for pruning, weeding, propagation, harvesting, and even starting new garden projects or throwing garden parties.
While herbs are Stevens's specialty, she loves growing all kinds of plants, and The Celestial Garden provides excellent gardening tips for every gardener, whether their passion is for vegetables, fruits, herbs, or flowers. At a deeper level, Stevens believes that gardening by the moon and learning about astrological cycles can help restore our elemental interconnection with Nature and the Earth. The Celestial Garden introduces and explains all aspects of astrological gardening:
What moon signs are, and why and how the phase of the moon affects plant growth and development
How to align the moon's passage through the constellations of the zodiac with your choice of daily garden tasks and projects
Specific tips and advice for the best activities to undertake during each of the moon's phases
How to incorporate simple, creative seasonal rituals into your astrological gardening practice
How to apply what you learn about astrological influences beyond the garden to experience a greater sense of flow and satisfaction in all aspects of your daily life
Photos of the author's garden throughout the book provide visual evidence of the positive results that come from gardening in harmony with the moon and planetary influences.
Illustrations and charts help readers understand the lunar cycle and its influence on plants, the astrological rulers of the body, and the relationship between the signs of the zodiac and the four elements (earth, air, water, fire).
Gardeners of every level of experience will find new insights, ideas, and inspiration in this unusual, beautiful, and highly practical guide to the simple yet expansive art of consulting with the cosmos to inform our garden tasks on any given day, week, or month and enjoy greater gardening satisfaction and success.
