About the Book

Almost Eden captures the absolute wonder of the earth and teaches us how we can create a little bit of this wonder in our own backyards. Readers will discover how their gardens can be in tune with God’s original plan of earthly stewardship and be creative and well designed.

Readers are encouraged to revisit the notion of what a perfect garden actually looks like and discover how to achieve this perfect garden. Almost Eden teaches how to share our gardens with creatures that may come to call, and deter those who may graze on precious botanicals.

Almost Eden shows how the creative use of color and art can transform our gardens through the seasons. Paying attention to all aspects of design principles, the reader will be able to create their own backyard oasis. Friends and family will not only be delighted by flora and fauna, but also entertained through sport and refreshed with great outdoor cooking and dining spaces.

Explore how anyone, regardless of physical or cognitive limitations, can enjoy a garden and participate in its creation and maintenance.

Almost Eden journeys through back roads and hikes through forests, wetlands, and hillsides where the most amazing gardens can be found without spending a dime or lifting a shovel. The journey is intended to inspire worship to the One who created such gardens for us all.
