One Daughter’s
Inspiring Story
of Feeding the Body and Soul
In 2006, Barbara Henderson became one of the estimated 10 million Americans caring for a person with Alzheimer’s disease. For Henderson, one of the hardest parts was witnessing her mother’s sense of loss—of her independence, her past and her home. That’s when she began a little experiment. And it started right in her own backyard. On a small plot of land at her Florida home, Henderson planted herbs, tomatoes, arugula, squash and more. The idea was to give her mother something to grasp onto from her past in the form of her once-beloved garden. But what happened next surpassed all expectations—and provided enduring hope for achieving healing and transformation, against all odds. Honest, heartfelt and unflinchingly real, Backyard Musings of an Organic Dabbler is part memoir, part gardening treatise. This powerful book explores the ability of homegrown fruits, vegetables and herbs to improve our bodies and minds and bring us closer together. Inside, you’ll meet more than 60 easy-to-grow herbs, along with their benefits and suggested uses. Discover gift ideas, harvest tips, unique recipes, and a captivating journey of love that grows as well as a burgeoning backyard garden.
