A graphic novel about healing through mindfulness and gardening by two highly acclaimed creators.

before all this.

I have an infinity of precious details
to smile upon.
 
Quiet and meditative, The Garden is a story told in manga about one woman’s spiritual and emotional growth. Following a breakdown, Joanna takes medical leave from her job in a high-powered finance firm. Seeking something meaningful in her life, she travels to Japan to immerse herself in Zen gardening and meditation before returning home to nurture her own Japanese garden . . . and her soul. Two powerful and admired creators—award-winning writer Sean Michael Wilson and graphic-novel artist Fumio Obata—have created a powerful story of healing and recovery.
