Dear Gardener,

I hope this note finds you well, with the spirit of nature surrounding you in abundance. I wanted to take a moment to reflect on the deep-rooted connection we share with the land, one that spans generations, transcends time, and enriches our lives in countless ways. Working the land, be it farming or gardening, is a timeless practice that has been passed down through the ages.

I have been fortunate to inherit this precious knowledge from my parents, who instilled in me the wisdom of working the soil. I, in turn, have shared this gift with my own sons. As you know, this connection to the land runs deep in our veins, as it does for countless Americans. We are, at heart, farmers and gardeners before anything else. Cultivating plants, some for sustenance and others for the sheer joy they bring, is an essential part of who we are.

The stories in “Rooted in Love” speak to the heart of our shared journey. Titles such as “I Heard Corn Grow,” “Nana’s Garden,” and “The Great Tomato Fight of 1957” will transport you to the heart of our gardening experiences, where laughter, learning, and love intertwine.

Our stories are a treasure trove of memories, laughter, and inspiration. Each one of them a testament to the magic that happens when people and plants grow together. Start reading and experiencing this beautiful collection right now, and prepare to share these stories with someone you love.

Rooted in love,
