In an age of
erratic weather and instability, people's interest in growing their own
food is skyrocketing. The Resilient Gardener
presents gardening techniques that stand up to challenges ranging from
health problems, financial problems, and special dietary needs to
serious disasters and climate change..

Scientist and gardener
Carol Deppe draws from emerging science in many fields to develop
general principles of gardening for resilience. |
Gardeners
will learn
through Deppe's detailed instructions on growing, storing, and using
the five crops central to self-reliance: potatoes, corn, beans, squash,
and eggs.
The Resilient Gardener
is both a conceptual and a hands-on gardening book for all levels of
experience. Optimistic as well as realistic, Deppe offers invaluable
advice for gardeners (and their communities) to flourish. |
