Beyond the Bloom: Life Lessons from the Misadventures of a Beginner Gardener - Softcover

Über die Autorin bzw. den Autor

Kelly Jackson Crabb believes beauty is found in both blossoms and the layers of life. She's spent the last few years chronicling what her suburban flower garden has taught her about courage, grief, and the audacity of growth. Before writing, Kelly built twenty-year career in photography, which gave her a love for noticing light, color, and detail-the same things that now show up in her garden and her words.She stumbled into gardening the same way she's stumbled into most good things in life-by saying yes before she felt ready (her signature move). She believes bravery is less about big leaps and more about planting tiny seeds you're not sure will grow. Her flower beds became a classroom for resilience, humor, and hope, and her stories now weave together the reverent and the ridiculous in equal measure.Kelly makes her home in Kansas City with her husband Jeremy, their rescue pups, and an ever-expanding collection of flowers that rarely stay where she plants them. Their two boys, David and JJ, are still her favorite things to watch grow-even as they stretch their own roots beyond home. When she's not in her garden, Kelly loves seeing the world with Jeremy, the scratch of a needle on vinyl, and laughing from her gut as much as possible.
