From rising early to walk barefoot on the grass each morning, to afternoons and evenings spent sipping tea in her gazebo or watching fireflies as she recalls her childhood in Japan, Zen in the Garden shares observations from a life spent in contemplation - and cultivation - of nature.

Japanese by birth, but transplanted to Europe in adulthood, author Miki Sakamoto has spent a lifetime tending her garden and reflecting on its mysteries. She shows us that you can create Zen in your life, wherever you live and whatever form your outdoor space takes.
