Easy read and interesting on what plants to incorporate and groupings. Lots of awesome information in a little book. — Courtney Luscko Hamilton, 5-star Amazon review "Create Your Tibetan Garden: Tibetan Ancestral Knowledge" is a fascinating and inspiring guide that beautifully blends ancient wisdom with practical gardening tips. It offers a unique glimpse into Tibetan traditions while helping you create a peaceful, thriving garden. A must-have for anyone interested in cultural gardening and mindful living! Meeting Namgyal changed the way I look at plants. A refugee from Tibet, he carried in his words the mountains, the rituals, and the gardens of his homeland. He spoke of plants not as tools but as companions, living beings that connect body, spirit, and earth.   Through Vergers du Monde, we worked together to adapt some of these practices in Europe. It was not about copying a Tibetan garden, but about learning what it means to cultivate with respect, patience, and gratitude.   This book is a modest echo of that encounter. I hope it will inspire you, as it inspired me, to see your own garden as a space of resilience and inner peace, a place where every seed holds more than growth, it holds meaning. In Tibet, gardens are places of prayer and healing, where a simple herb can carry the memory of centuries. Amid high plateaus and monasteries surrounded by wind, each plant has its role: rhubarb for strength, juniper for purification, saffron for dignity. This book brings those landscapes into your hands. Step by step, it shows how to translate the essence of Tibetan gardens into today's world: mixing medicinal herbs with ornamental flowers, creating shaded corners for reflection, letting colors and scents become part of a daily ritual. What you will find here is not only advice, but a vision of gardening as a path of mindfulness and balance. Discover the essence of Tibet through the creation of your own Tibetan garden. Through this guide blending practical and theoretical knowledge, Vergers du Monde offers you a complete exploration, from selecting plants to meditating within this harmonious space. Immerse yourself in Tibetan culture and traditions while cultivating an inspiring garden in connection with nature. A spiritual journey through the landscapes and wisdom of Tibet, right at your fingertips.
