Why We Garden by Jim Nollman is a great book for inspiration and philosophical enrichment. He is both utterly quixotic and academically astute as he writes creative essays based loosely around the twelve months of the year and the experiences (and plants) he's accumulated in his garden(s) in the Pacific Northwest. His essays address issues of connectedness to place and how we as individuals and as a society can rethink gardening to make our experiences more about learning from nature and less about dominating or controlling nature
