Digging Deep: Unearthing You’re Creative Roots Through Gardening
Gardening and creativity expert Fran Sorin’s Digging Deep does for gardeners what Natalie Goldberg’s Writing Down the Bones and Julia Cameron’s The Artist’s Way has done for millions of writers and it shows how to approach your passion with an eye towards freeing your spirit and living a creative and joyful life. If you’re yearning to get out of the rut you’re in and cultivate more meaning and connection in your life, you’ll find the encouragement and tools to make it happen in Digging Deep.
Overflowing with tips, exercises, and resources, Fran Sorin’s empowering guide offers much-needed inspiration in today’s technology-obsessed and often nature-deprived culture. This new edition features a foreword by Larry Dossey and a new introduction, where Sorin encourages us to discover the magic that takes place every day—in the garden and in life—as we engage in a playful type of creating.
In her acclaimed classic, Sorin, who has spent decades extolling the benefits of gardening as a broadcaster, writer, and speaker, is also a social entrepreneur, futurist, and dreamer whose mission is to empower 1 billion people to grow their own food on pennies a day.

About the author
Fran Sorin
3 books32 followersFran Sorin is an author, coach, speaker, trainer, writer, CBS radio news and Huffington Post contributor. She is also a veteran of the media—as a media trainer, broadcaster, journalist, celebrity spokesperson, and inspirational speaker.
Her book, Digging Deep: Unearthing Your Creative Roots Through Gardening, was groundbreaking when published in 2004. It was the first book to address gardening in the context of creativity and as a tool for well-being and personal transformation. The New Revised Edition is even more vital today, because our culture has become increasingly obsessed with technology and progressively more “nature deprived.”
By the time Fran graduated from the University of Chicago, she knew that she wanted to combine her passion for living creatively with a deep desire to help people experience more fulfilling lives. She has spent more than 30 years studying, researching, experimenting, and working on her self and with clients on getting to their authentic creative selves.
Once Fran decided that she wanted to share her passion for gardening with a large audience and approached the local Fox TV station in Philadelphia about doing some gardening TV features, she became a fixture on the TV circuit. She spent years as a gardening authority on Philadelphia’s Fox and NBC stations, was the regular gardening contributor on NBC’s Weekend Today Show, and made several appearances on CNN, MSNBC, Lifetime, HGTV, DIY, and the Discovery Channel. She has also been a celebrity spokesperson for OurHouse.com, MSNBC, and Garden Weasel.
Fran is celebrating her twelfth year as a CBS Radio News correspondent. Her Digging Deep gardening features are heard several times a week on CBS Radio stations throughout the United States. She has also written dozens of articles about gardening and well-being for USA Weekend Magazine, Radius Magazine, and iVillage. Fran was instrumental in developing iVillage’s Garden Channel and was their "Green Thumb” gardening expert.
She is also the co-founder of and contributor to the award-winning gardening blog, www.gardeninggonewild.com
Fran’s website, www.FranSorin.com, focuses on personal development and offers free resources to help improve your life.
