Charlene (Gorda) Costanzo’s seventh book, “The Twelve Gifts from the Garden: Life Lessons for Peace and Well-Being” is a collection of stories, reflections, and essays inspired by the exotic and native trees and flowers in the botanical garden on Sanibel Island, Florida.

In the tradition of Anne Morrow Lindbergh, Costanzo, ’71, finds awe in the bounty of seashells along the Florida shoreline. But it’s the foliage in Sanibel’s botanical garden that brings daily reflections and lesson-bearing messages. Drawing from the beautiful nature of trees and flowers, she crafts garden-inspired messages from her experiences with healing and understanding.
