Show Notes for Episode #136 with Christie Purifoy

Christie Purifoy, author of Garden Maker, shares practical and spiritual insights gleaned from cultivating flowers.

Today’s Guest: Christie Purifoy is a writer and gardener who loves to grow flowers and community. She is the author of two memoirs, Roots and Sky: A Journey Home in Four Seasons and Placemaker: Cultivating Places of Comfort, Beauty, and Peace, as well as the recently released Garden Maker: Growing a Life of Beauty & Wonder With Flowers. Christie earned a PhD in English literature from the University of Chicago but eventually traded the classroom for an old farmhouse called Maplehurst where, along with her husband Jonathan and four children, she welcomes frequent guests to the Maplehurst Black Barn.

With her longtime friend Lisa-Jo Baker she co-hosts the Out of the Ordinary podcast and an online community for aspiring and experienced gardeners called The Black Barn Garden Club. Finally, with a small group of creative, faithful friends, she founded a non-profit faith and arts organization called the Black Barn Collective. You are invited to join the collective in their online home the Black Barn Online where faith and art take root, flourish, and grow.
