The workshop celebrates the release of Tracy’s new color hardback devotional Arranged with Love.
“In this ever-changing world, we need the pleasures and beauty of nature to grace our lives”, says author and avid gardener Tracy L. Smoak. “While the world may reflect chaos, God brings calm”.
Gwen Carter notes, “Reading Tracy’s book took me to a peaceful place and rested my mind from the cares of the world.”

Growing up in Central Florida, Smoak was taught from a young age to appreciate God’s lush artwork in her surroundings. Her dad raised citrus, her mother cultivated long-stem roses, and her great-grandfather taught her how to grow vegetables. Smoak says, “Seeing plants flourish brings me joy and reminds me of the extravagant care God invests in his children.”
This collection combines thirty full-color, original photographs with Scripture, prayer, and encouragement to help readers rest in the Father’s love. For anyone who enjoys nature, needs comfort, or desires spiritual renewal, it’s the perfect gift.
Tracy encourages readers to see God’s hand in their daily lives. Her nature devotionals with color photographs, Living Water to Refresh Your Soul and Arranged with Love, feature the graceful beauty of God’s creation. Visit www.tracysmoak.com.
