The book examines a shift in religiosity through the lens of community gardens. When entering a garden, people are not asked what they believe in; rather, the focus is on what they do and practice in their everyday lives.

The book, which draws on interviews from community gardeners in Argentina, Australia, Brazil, Canada, the U.S. and more, explores themes of community-building, ritual, ethics and relationships with humans, non-humans and the natural world.

Additionally, Arthur Hollist, professor of English and writing, recently wroteÌý, which was released by Narrative Landscape Press.

The book contains a collection of 15 stories of lives across continents, cultures and personal histories.
