Perfect for you if...

You're drawn to nature writing that doesn't shy away from faith, and you want something that feels honest rather than preachy
You've experienced loss or transition and are looking for a book that treats redemption as something quiet and gradual, not sudden
You appreciate when an artist shares their actual life—the doubts, the mess, the slow growing—rather than a polished testimony

Maybe not for you if...

You're looking for a straightforward gardening or horticultural guide; this is theology through trees, not practical landscaping
You prefer narrative-driven memoirs that move chronologically; this one weaves back and forth through memories and spiritual reflection
You're sceptical of Christian books and want nothing to do with biblical language or spiritual frameworks, even gently applied

About this book

The Bible contains recurring connections between people and trees—both emerge from soil, both are called to bear fruit, and tree-related language frequently describes human experience through phrases like family trees, bearing seed, being rooted, and bearing the fruit of the Spirit. This book combines memoir with reflections on God's presence in creation. Peterson shares personal stories of childhood, grief, redemption, and peace while exploring how the first command to Adam and Eve—to work and keep the garden—relates to human purpose. Through these memories, Peterson invites readers to recognize their own stories and encounter God's ongoing presence and care. The author reflects on how God sometimes plants and sometimes prunes, working toward a harvest of righteousness in what he loves.
