We all need a personal sanctuary where we can be in harmony with the natural world and can nurture our bodies, minds, and souls. And this sanctuary doesn't have to be a far-away destination--it can be in your own backyard. In Creating Sanctuary, Jessi Bloom taps into multiple sources of traditional plant wisdom to help find a deeper connection to the outdoor space you already have--no matter the size. Equal parts inspirational and practical, this engaging guide includes tips on designing a healing space, plant profiles for 50 sacred plants, recipes that harness the medicinal properties of plants, and simple instructions for daily rituals and practices for self-care. Hands-on, inspiring, and beautiful, Creating Sanctuary is a must-have for finding new ways to revitalize our lives. -- Non sono state trovate descrizioni di biblioteche |

The summary emphasizes all garden space sizes, but the text focuses solely on large yards.
The medicinal herbs section comprises a half star of worth in my rating, but again it's a breezy overview that does not include thorough enough information to safely use herbs. For example, the mugwort description includes an almost afterthought note about not using it while pregnant...yeah, because it can cause miscarriage, which is not mentioned at all but is pretty important.
The section where I tapped out and just skimmed everything after was the smudging one. First the section tries to equate the usage of flames and smoke in a clumsy segue. Then there's the complete appropriation and downplay of the importance of smudging to Native Americans (the book calls it a SIMPLE RITUAL?!?!?! for everyone to use). There's the citation of a flawed, unsupported study to promote smoke cleansing indoors after giving a (very valid) warning about indoor smoke just lines ago...which is an irrelevant point anyway because this is a book about outdoor garden spaces. There's the mention of white sage without any context of its rampant unsustainable harvesting, when the author repeatedly asserts she's such a conscientious steward of nature.
There are much better, more reliably informed books out there on all these topics. Give this one a pass. ( )
