Book excerpt: Combines practical wisdom on ecological design and community-building with a fresh, green perspective on an age-old subject. Activist and urban gardener Heather Flores shares her nine-step permaculture design to help farmsteaders and city dwellers alike build fertile soil, promote biodiversity, and increase natural habitat in their own "paradise gardens." This joyful lifestyle manual inspires readers to apply the principles of the paradise garden--simplicity, resourcefulness, creativity, mindfulness, and community--to all aspects of life. Plant "guerrilla gardens" in barren intersections and medians; organize community meals; start a street theater troupe or host a local art swap; free your kitchen from refrigeration and enjoy truly fresh, nourishing foods from your own plot of land; work with children to create garden play spaces. Flores cares passionately about the damaged state of our environment and our throwaway society. Here, she shows us how to reclaim the earth, one garden at a time.--From publisher description.

Book excerpt: Hello there, fellow adventurer! Ready for a journey that’s going to be as exciting as it is rewarding? If so, then you’ve chosen the right book. “Grow Food for Free” isn't just about gardening; it's about a lifestyle, a mindset, and a sense of empowerment that comes from nurturing a seed into a full-fledged plant. It's about cutting out the middleman (and the grocery bills), replacing it with fresh air, sunshine, and the kind of satisfaction that only comes from watching your dinner grow from the ground up. If you've ever thought, "I wish I could do that, but I don't have a green thumb," then let us tell you a little secret. Green thumbs aren't born, they're grown! And they're grown through practice, patience, and a willingness to get a little dirty. Your thumb may not be green just yet, but with a little bit of time and this book in hand, we guarantee it will start to sprout. Before we start our adventure, let's break down any walls of apprehension. Gardening is for everyone! Whether you have acres of land or a tiny windowsill, whether you live in a tropical paradise or a snowy wonderland, this book will guide you through the ins and outs of growing your own food, for free! We'll provide you with the tools you need to start small and dream big. The size of your garden isn't what matters; it's the joy and bounty it brings to your life that counts.

Book excerpt: Grow your own vegetable garden with this practical, straightforward gardening guide. There is nothing more fulfilling than growing your own home produce. You don't have to be a seasoned gardener to produce a healthy, flourishing garden - all you need is a few seeds, water, sunlight, good advice and patience! In just one raised bed, author Huw Richards, shows you exactly how to grow vegetables organically, abundantly and inexpensively so you have something to harvest every month of the year. Here's what you'll find inside: - Month-by-month guide to what to do and how to do it, including what pests to look out for, and what can be harvested. - Covers first year in detail, with the final chapter on ‘Next Steps’ providing suggestions of what to do in years two and three. - Illustrations show you what the bed should look like month to month. - Windowsill planting ensures early success cultivating plants before they are transferred into the bed. - Maintenance sections ensure readers know how to keep their plants (and raised bed) healthy each month. - Includes instructions on assessing your site and building a 4x10ft (1.2x3m) raised bed. - Alternative vegetables are recommended, allowing readers to tailor their bed to their taste. - Plans chart growing season for different circumstances: cool climate, low rainfall, low effort, salad bed, winter bed, herbs and edible flowers. Month by month, discover what you need to do and how to do it. Try becoming more self-sufficient in your allotment, a small garden, or even on a roof terrace. Veg In One Bed shows you that you can have a small thriving garden and still be able to maintain it, yielding fresh vegetables all year round. Learn what to do each month on your windowsill, where you'll raise seedlings, and in your raised bed, where your plants will grow to maturity. Everything is explained in clear, illustrated steps: building your bed, growing from seed, planting, feeding, and harvesting. This gardening book not only guides you through the whole process of building your raised bed through to harvesting your vegetables but also provides sustainable gardening practices, which will resonate with all gardeners committed to protecting our planet. This makes for the perfect book for new gardeners who want to grow their own produce, as well as the new generation of gardeners who are seeking a gardening guru of their own age.

In this book he organizes all his ideas and suggestions into a blueprint for growing your own vegetables month by month. Little growing experience? Only a small space? No matter - with Veg in One Bed, you can still eat food you have grown all through the year.
