Soulful Sanctuaries Cultivating Sacred Spaces by Janaki Sandy Gaal - A Review

Release Date: September 15, 2026

I enjoyed this book and found it to be such a rich, thoughtful read. It’s not a quick or light book, it is very informative. It’s one you take your time with, reflect on, and maybe even come back to again. It blends gardening with mindfulness and spirituality in a way that feels very intentional and meaningful.

As a gardener, my absolute favorite part was the recipes. I loved the idea of using what you grow to create something beautiful and delicious. It added such a rewarding, hands on element and really inspired me to think about my own garden in a new way.

This book also came at the perfect time for me. I’ve mainly focused on vegetables, but I’ve been wanting to branch more into flowers. The rose sections especially are incredibly detailed. You can tell how much knowledge and research the author has, and if you’re even a little curious about roses, there is so much to learn here.

I also appreciated the deeper approach the book takes. It’s about more than just gardening, it’s about creating a space that feels peaceful and personal. While it is definitely a more immersive read, I found that to be part of its charm.

Overall, this was a beautifully written, informative, and inspiring book that I really appreciated. It made me want to slow down, spend more time in my garden, and explore new ways of growing.

Thank you to The Collective Book Studio and NetGalley for the opportunity to read and review this ARC. All thoughts and opinions are my own.
