Book Review: The Green Witch's Garden by Arin Murphy-Hiscock

  • Source: I received an advance copy of this book on NetGalley

  • My Rating: ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ (see my review on Goodreads)

This might be my favorite witchy gardening book so far, and I think that is nicely reflected in the fact that I not only requested an advanced copy of it, but I also bought my own physical copy and was given a second copy as a gift recently! This book is beautiful. It has this sort of old fashioned feeling to it, complete with beautiful illustrations, yet at the same time incorporates some modern design styles that really complement the whole vibe. It's the kind of book that I just want to keep picking up and paging through because it feels nice in my hands and the content is so inviting and inspiring and pretty to look at.

The Green Witch's Garden is the kind of witchy gardening guidebook I have been needing. I love plants. I love looking around my home and seeing all the nature. I love the idea of being able to grow all my own herbs and vegetables that I can use in my kitchen, and I also love the idea of planting a garden with intention. I am delighted to report that this book provides guidance all the way from planning to planting to journaling about your garden! There are so many ideas in here, not only for how to design your garden in pretty and meaningful arrangements, but how to consider things like the soil, the. seasons, the moon cycle, your local climate, and your personal skills. This is the book I will be referencing for all of my gardening plans from now on!
