Gardening and creativity expert Fran Sorin’s Digging Deep does for gardeners what Natalie Goldberg’s Writing Down the Bones and Julia Cameron’s The Artist’s Way has done for millions of writers and artists: it shows how to approach your passion with an eye towards freeing your spirit and living a creative and joyful life. If you’re yearning to get out of the rut you’re in and cultivate more meaning and connection in your life, you’ll find the encouragement and tools to make it happen in Digging Deep.
Overflowing with tips, exercises, and resources, Fran Sorin’s empowering guide offers much-needed inspiration in today’s technology-obsessed and often nature-deprived culture. This new edition features a foreword by Larry Dossey and a new introduction, where Sorin encourages us to discover the magic that takes place every day—in the garden and in life—as we engage in a playful type of creating.
In her acclaimed classic, Sorin, who has spent decades extolling the benefits of gardening as a broadcaster, writer, and speaker, is also a social entrepreneur, futurist, and dreamer whose mission is to empower 1 billion people to grow their own food on pennies a day.
Fran Sorin is an author, coach, speaker, CBS radio news and Huffington Post contributor.
Since graduating from the University of Chicago, Fran knew that she wanted to combine her passion for living creatively with a deep desire to help people experiencing more fulfilling lives. For over 30 years, she has been working on herself and with clients on how to get to their authentic, creative selves.
When Fran decided she wanted to share her passion for gardening as a conduit for living creatively, she approached the local Fox TV station in Philadelphia about doing some gardening TV features and became a fixture on the TV circuit. She spent years as a gardening authority on Philadelphia's Fox and NBC stations, was the regular gardening contributor on NBC's Weekend Today Show, and made several appearances on CNN, MSNBC, Lifetime, HGTV, DIY, and the Discovery Channel. She has also been a celebrity spokesperson for OurHouse.com, MSNBC, and Garden Weasel.
