The Optimistic Gardener

I am excited to announce that I have just completed my first book called "The Optimistic Gardener - A Gardener's Journey Through Throat Cancer".
The book chronicles my cancer journey, through the shock of diagnosis, the sometimes-tortuous path of cancer treatment and how I believe the medicinal properties of gardening, both psychologically, physiologically and using that most important quality of a gardener, optimism, helped me through this painful time. I am no medical expert, and I don’t pretend to give any medical advice in this book, but I hope to give you a general idea of what you will go through in your own journey through throat cancer, even if it maybe won’t exactly match mine. I have also included some stories from my past life as a sailor in the Royal Navy. I included these stories to show how they also helped to shape the way I approached my journey. Most importantly I hope to be able to inspire you to look forward with that little bit of optimism and fortitude that the gardener needs, if they wish to come through a season in the garden, with all the trials and tricks mother nature has in store. The Ebook is available for pre-order from Amazon online and will be released on Monday 14th March as will the paperback. Your support would be greatly appreciated and I am sure you will enjoy it 😀.
I would love you to join me live for a reading of the first chapter on:
Saturday 12th March at 1000 AST on Instagram. and Sunday 1000 AST on my YouTube channel The Optimistic Gardener. I’ll be taking questions after.
