"A transformative guide to growth anchored in lessons from plants that helps readers garden the soul as well as the soil from the largest TikTok gardener, Marcus Bridgewater"-- - HARPERCOLL
âGarden Marcus is not only a trove of information if youâre looking to flex your green thumb, but a balm for the chaos happening in the world.ââVogue
âBridgewaterâs planting tips are just as valuable when applied to life.ââThe Root
In this transformative guide, TikTokâs most popular gardener, Marcus Bridgewaterâaka Garden Marcusâoffers lessons for growth rooted in lessons from the plant world to help cultivate the soul.
Marcus Bridgewater has been compared to Bob Ross and Mister Rogers for his soothing TikTok videos that relate botany to humanity. A gardener âwho shares tips about caring for oneâs plants and oneselfâ (New York Times) and âis not only a trove of information if youâre looking to flex your green thumb, but a balm for the pandemic-induced chaos happening in the worldâ (Vogue), his soothing observations on plants and life have made him a social media star. In caring for over 600 plants, Marcus has gained invaluable wisdom. Life inside us yearns to grow; like plants, humans maximize their potential when presented with the right conditions. Through care and attention, he reminds us, we can successfully cultivate growth.Â
Centered on a trinity of wellbeingâMental Health, Physical Fitness, and Spiritual Awareness, How to Grow weaves together insights from the garden with stories from Marcusâs life to help you foster personal development. With lessons rooted in his experiences gardeningâfrom how a replanted flourishing sweet potato vine is a reminder that all living things benefit from a change of scene, to how to embrace patience to foster growthâthis inspiring guide helps you do âthe dirty workâ (pun intended) to discover kindness, patience, and positivity within. âWe cannot make anything grow,â he advises. âBut we can foster an environment where it may grow.â
How to Grow isnât a gardening book. It is a self-help book that draws inspiration from the garden. Original, timely, and filled with nurturing wisdom, it takes perennial knowledge from plants to teach us about ourselves and opens our eyes to what we are capable of achieving.
