A gardener “who shares tips about caring for one’s plants and oneself” (\u003cem\u003eNew York Times\u003c\/em\u003e) and “is not only a trove of information if you’re looking to flex your green thumb, but a balm for the pandemic-induced chaos happening in the world” (\u003cem\u003eVogue\u003c\/em\u003e), his soothing observations on plants and life have made him a social media star. In caring for over 600 plants, Marcus has gained invaluable wisdom. Life inside us yearns to grow; like plants, humans maximize their potential when presented with the right conditions. Through care and attention, he reminds us, we can successfully cultivate growth. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eCentered on a trinity of wellbeing—Mental Health, Physical Fitness, and Spiritual Awareness, \u003cem\u003eHow to Grow \u003c\/em\u003eweaves together insights from the garden with stories from Marcus’s life to help you foster personal development.
