Be Happy Forever? Make a Garden!

Not your parents’ gardening book.

Equal parts memoir, manual, and mischievous meditation on the nature of plants, this book digs deep and plays dirty—in the best way. From rooftop Edens to botanical soul-searching, I’ve packed decades of gardening (and questioning Aristotle) into something far more fun than your average plant guide.

If you’re ready to get your hands metaphorically dirty (no trowel required), you can dive into the cheeky intro or grab a copy straight from Amazon. Your move.
