From the rolling fields of Oxfordshire to soil-healing initiatives around the globe, The Land Gardeners have quietly become leaders in the growing global soil movement. Founded by Bridget Elworthy and Henrietta Courtauld, The Land Gardeners began with a shared passion for growing organic flowers and has evolved into a rich, multi-layered project that blends horticulture, soil science, education, writing, and advocacy.

Save Soil was delighted to speak to Matthew Ingram about his fascinating new book, “The Garden: Visionary Growers and Farmers of the Counterculture”. The book explores the transformative journey of the 1970s countercultural farmers and growers whose radical practices redefined how we grow and eat today. He has interviewed Save Soil founder Sadhguru for the book, which is available online via Amazon.

In this fascinating interview, we discover his motivation for writing the book, and insights he gleaned into connections between soil, spirit and society.

The Chief Minister of the State is at the event and like in other states, the Security is at the highest category – both for Sadhguru and the CM. Nothing deters the people though. They run behind Sadhguru’s motorcycle, calling out to him, laughing, weeping, clapping, screaming. Sadhguru stops periodically where sizeable crowds are gathered to acknowledge them and to seek their support for the Movement.
