All I am really trying to say is: there are not as many endings as we think. When life does not go as planned, plants are there to remind us of the rhythm of the world. In thirteen unique essays, Soon I'll Be from the Soil Someday explores how plants and gardening practices can help us to mourn, to grow, and to become more comfortable with death-to understand death as an honorable piece of nature. Soil is the space where life and death meet, and these essays hold our hand as we journey into that space.
