Those of us who love to garden know it can be a meditative space. A new book, “Perennial Ceremony” by Teresa Peterson, finds the Southwestern Minnesota-based author reconciling her spirituality through her relationship with her garden.

Peterson is a citizen of the Upper Sioux Community and writes about the intersections of cultural identity, food place and belonging.

She spoke with MPR News host Cathy Wurzer about the book.
