Grow Where You're Planted

When Samantha Stephensen, inspired author and host of the Mama Grows YouTube channel, planted her first two raised beds, she wasn’t just growing vegetables; she was cultivating peace, beauty, and a deeper friendship with God. Her desire was to develop a nontoxic lifestyle, due in part to a debilitating chronic illness, and before long, her backyard hobby became a way of life, a journey of health, holiness, and renewal for body and soul.

This is not your average gardening book. Rather, it is a handbook for the heart that reveals the secrets to growing where you’re planted for the nourishment of both soil and soul. Practically, you’ll learn about “Tending the Garden” through planting, pruning, harvesting, and preserving. But spiritually, you’ll learn patience in waiting, generosity in giving, and gratitude for the seasons of life that unfold under God’s tender care.

Stephensen weaves Scripture, spiritual reflection, and family stories into every chapter, show
