What if the path back to Eden begins right outside your back door? In Grow Where You're Planted, Catholic author Samantha Stephenson invites readers to rediscover God's presence in the soil beneath their feet. Part gardening guide, part spiritual memoir, this heartfelt book weaves together practical know-how and timeless faith as Samantha transforms her small suburban plot into a flourishing haven of food, beauty, and grace.
Rooted in the rhythm of the seasons, this book offers step-by-step advice for cultivating abundance in any space--whether you have raised beds, containers, or a single patch of earth. Yet beyond the seeds and soil, Samantha reveals the deeper invitation of the garden: to encounter the Creator through creation. With "seeds for contemplation," reflections on stewardship, and encouragement for families, she shows how tending the land can renew both the earth and the soul.
In a world that moves too fast, Grow Where You're Planted reminds us to slow down, dig deep, and trust God's providence--one seed, one season, one act of faith at a time. Come learn how to grow where you're planted and reclaim the joy of Eden, right in your own backyard.
