Over the Rainbow is a spiritual gardening book. You'll find plenty of information on basic gardening techniques, what I call the "nuts 'n bolts" of gardening (soil amendments, soil tests, tips and techniques for planning and planting). From there, it expands into an array of informative topics such as honoring nature's cycles in the garden (i.e. planting by the moon for instance), planting for pollinators, gardening with children, gardening in climate change, preserving your harvest and garden fresh recipes. For those interested in the more spiritual aspects of gardening, I've included techniques for communicating with Nature, use of flower essences (and how to make them) and a chakra balancing meditation. There's something in this book for everybody!

Second Book, Faerie Song; melodies of light! is coming Spring 2021!
I'm in the process of writing a second book titled, Faerie Song; melodies of light! This book will introduce you to the world of the Nature Faeries, beings who live close to the Earth and tend to her care. We'll explore their world and how they use Power (life force energy) to strengthen, heal, balance or direct whatever aspect of Nature they're in charge of. This can be a grove of trees, a garden of roses, or even the tiny seeds in the head of a clover. All are precious to the faeries! The book will also include some processes where-by we can experience Nature directly as the faeries do, such as becoming a tree or even a drop of snow-melt as it journeys from a snowbank to eventually becoming a deep pool. I have included a few channeled messages from the faeries in the book, such as a shared vision of creating our New Earth! Like the first book, I include a chapter of recipes; this time there are thirty yummy vegan recipes that will delight and enliven the senses of even the most dedicated meat eaters! The book will close with a poignant message from Gaia (Spirit of Earth) on how to create a New World in this new decade, beginning in 2020. I hope to have the book published by Spring of 2021, so I'll keep you posted on it's progress. The Nature Faeries have been special friends to me for years and I'm so glad to share them all with you!!

There's something beyond science that happens in the midst of Marianne. I visit her garden with my daughter when our worlds are spinning and we need to feel grounded. There's an energetic calmness and lifting that happens simultaneously. It's actually surreal. Her fruits and herbs and tomatoes have brought us years of health. Her teachings have brought our own garden to life. And now when there are creepy crawlies in our house and my daughter finds them, she takes a piece of paper or her hands and lovingly frees them to the world, and off they go. For a 6 year old to know of the feelings of the plants and animals that surround her is vital to her growth.
Her understanding of fairies is far greater than any adult and equally powerful to her constant state of bliss. And when winter settles in and colds cross our doorstep, the flower essences Marianne makes seems to satisfy the craving of my little girl. It makes it all better! It's sweet and pure and healing for the mind and the body. I'd say we're "over the moon" about it and Marianne is "over the rainbow"! ~ Julie Over 20 years ago, I was introduced to Marianne by a mutual friend and talented landscape artist, he would consult Marianne on many of his high-profile projects. The moment I met Marianne in her garden (which was more like a flower forest) I could feel my vibration elevate. I had never fully understood the power of flora and fauna until I stepped into Marianne's magical realm. Besides being an incredibly kind and compassionate human being, Marianne's talents to create colorful, feastful, utterly magnetic environments is stunning. To spend an hour in the garden with Marianne feels like a casual conversation that goes by too quickly, and, when it's over, you will find that you know incredible amounts about her "friends" that grow and pollinate there. Marianne doesn't lecture, she joyfully imparts knowledge based in a deeply intuitive skill-set that is rare, as is clear from her blog. I am excited to read her book "Over The Rainbow; a gardener's guide to creating light-filled gardens"and implement her sage advice to create my own colorful, soul and body feeding realm. (And my daughter is all about calling in the faeries!) Marianne's flower essences are equally magical and potent for important vibrational shifts and insights and make incredible gifts! Whether you are a nuts-and-bolts gardener type, or on a Spiritual quest to connect with the Earth and all beings, I can assure you that you have found the perfect resource in Marianne and this gorgeous GardenRainbows website. When Marianne states she wanting to help humankind harness Heaven on Earth, I have no doubt she is serious...and she is one of the planet's beautiful souls that has the gifts to fulfill this promise. Deb Zehr ,San Diego, CA I have been following Marianne's gardening methods for decades. She truly has a special sense about plants and their environment. I have learned so much from her about listening to what the plants need but also about trusting my own inner knowledge about gardening. It’s always a balance between the natural science of things and the co-creative process that makes gardening so deeply satisfying. Renata Reid Wonderful products! They were of great assistance to me through some very stressful times. I would recommend them highly. The vegetables and fruits grown in Marianne Vaughn's garden contain very clear healing energies as a result of the love and nourishment they receive. They're also the tastiest of any produce I've ever eaten! Nancy B |
