The Ultimate Plant Lover is a Dream Planter.

The Dreams of Heaven are planted on Earth with Seeds.
All Plants begin as Seeds. Human Beings are merely one Seed
intended to be fully planted here on Earth in this The Great Experiment
of Life. Human Beings are by Nature Gardeners, and Plants are
Nature's Original Technology, a Divine Gift, that it is here to
on our palatte to create a more beautiful world.

The Enchanted Garden is a name of our Renewed Earth.
The Enchanted Garden is a reference to Eden.
We each, born in the archetype of Adam and Eve, are compelled
to leave the Garden for our own good. We return, Wiser,
taking up full residence as metaphoric and literal Gardeners
of consciousness.

What is your Dream Job? What were you born to grow to
make this a more beautiful world?

Plants make it possible for you to find and land your dream job.

The Wise Person befriends plants. The Wise Person learns
the particular foods that will best allow the Soul, our individuality
within what we call God, to grow here.

The Earth and the Soul are Soilmates.

We are each now on a journey a return to the Enchanted Garden.

We are each on a journey toward once again living in a world
intended to be fully organically grown.

This book is here to inspire the journey that by the year 2025,
we live in a fully organically grown world.

The Organic Center, a leading Non-Profit, has set a goal to
reach 10% organic usage by 2010. In 2008, we were in the United
States at around 3 % organic usage.

In the year 2008, many of us were under the impression that
we did not know how to grow food.

Follow the simple "Homework" lessons in the Homework
section of the Ultimate Plant Lover, and you will be convinced
that you can grow your own food, starting with Keeping a Beet
in a pot and harvesting the a continuous growth of beet greens that
can be deliciously prepared.

Many of us, imagine that the world we live in today,
is stuck and cannot be transformed quickly. Leslie, our
Enchanted Gardener, asks us to take Chocolate Scented peppermint,
rub it between our hands, and breathe it in. Anyone who does
this, he says, can shift their world, in 15 sections.

Plants do that for us, The Ultimate Plant Lover demonstrates.
They fill our live with beauty, form, and fragrance. They give
us keys to being present with those we love, and allow us
to become better Lovers in every sense of the world.

Plants help us ground. Plants help us enter inner worlds
of mediatation. Plants feed us and have the capacity to
be our own medicine as they balance out organs that are
either overactive or underactive. Plants are intended to
be our medicine, and we through growing them, can
improve our health through the very act of getting our
feet into the soil.

SECTION ONE:

You will find here, in Section One, heartwarming stories
from eminent gardeners of the American Dream, who are
reaping the benefits of personal growth through befriending
Plants.

Oh Beautiful, for Spacious Skies, for Amber Waves of Grain.

Can we afford to leave the joys of gardener to our farmers?
Can we leave out the richness of growing a few simple foods ourselves,
as well as being on a personal first name basis with the locally growing
organic farmer growing the rest of our food?

In areas were we currently do not have locally grown food, this book
suggests that we consciously support local family farmers and farms
where they still exist. We can enter into Conscious Commerce
relationship with All the Natural Products we use on a daily basis.

In this book, through heartwarming personal stories told by local farmers,
environmentally friendly entrepreneurs, and plant lovers of many varieties,
you will seeillustrated Enchanted Garden Teachings that are intended to
once again restore paradise on earth.
