With more than three decades in the garden industry, Paul Zimmerman explores the passion that connects gardeners around the world with those who also live it. Drawing on years of travel, conversations with growers and garden makers, and countless visits to gardens across continents, Paul looks beyond the “how-to” and dives into the deeper questions — why do we garden, what’s changing in the gardening world, and what does it reveal about who we are?
