"One woman's life-changing decision to rebuild a life centered on wellness, generosity, and a connection to the land. Misha Gillingham is a travel writer-turned-farm-girl whose story has won over the hearts of fans worldwide. In Blooms & Dreams, Misha shares the wisdom she has gleaned over the years as she and her family put down roots on Evergreen Acres in the Pacific Northwest. The book shares the story of why she and her family chose the hobby-farm lifestyle; how they got started; the lay of the land (stroll the garden, the pastures, the bocce ball court); the flowers they grow in abundance; the animals and their barns (goats, sheep, alpacas, dogs, and chickens!); the joy of contributing their bounty to the local community; and, lastly, what this transformative lifestyle has meant to Misha as she reflects on one of the most rewarding experiences of her life"-- - Book News
Gillingham, a former luxury travel writer and blogger who moved with her family from Los Angeles, California, to a farm in Washington, describes how she started her farm and garden, Evergreen Acres, to show readers how to cultivate a life focused on wellness, giving, growing, and a connection to land by creating a farm or garden. She details how she and her family started a farm with several gardens, the elements of the gardens, the animals on the farm, how to begin with a practice garden, designing her dream garden, growing flowers, her favorite varieties of flowers and vegetables, how the farm donates from its harvests, and how gardening has changed her life.
