On Guerrilla Gardening: A Handbook for Gardening Without Boundaries $21.48 When Richard Reynolds began planting flowers secretly at night outside his tower block in South London he had no idea he was part of a growing global movement committed to combating the forces of neglect, land shortage and apathy towards public spaces. But his blog GuerrillaGardening.org attracted other guerrillas from around the world to share their experiences of the horticultural front line with him and become a focal point for guerrilla gardeners everywhere. "On Guerrilla Gardening "is a lively colourful treatise about why people illicitly cultivate land and how to do it. From discretely beautifying corners of Montreal to striving for green communal space in Berlin and sustainable food production in San Francisco, from small gestures of fun in Zurich to bold political statements in Brazil, cultivating land beyond your boundary is a battle many different people are fighting. Unearthed along the way are the movement’s notable historic advances by seventeenth century English radicals, a nineteenth century American entrepreneur and artists in 1970s New York. Reynolds has researched the subject with guerrilla gardeners from thirty different countries and compiles their advice on what to grow, how to cope with adverse environmental conditions, how to seed bomb effectively and to use propaganda to win support. "On Guerrilla Gardening "gives entertaining inspiration, practical reference and no excuses for not getting out there and gardening. |

The Art of Landscape Gardening $30.48 General Books publication date: 2009 Original publication date: 1907 Original Publisher: Houghton, Mifflin and Company Subjects: Landscape architecture Landscape gardening Architecture / Landscape Gardening / General Gardening / Garden Design Gardening / Landscape Notes: This is a black and white OCR reprint of the original. It has no illustrations and there may be typos or missing text. When you buy the General Books edition of this book you get free trial access to Million-Books.com where you can select from more than a million books for free. Excerpt: Chapter I Introduction — General Principles — Utility – Scale — Examples of Comparative Proportion- Use of Perspective THE theory and practice of landscape gardening have seldom fallen under the consideration of the same author; because those who have delivered their opinions in writing on this art have had little practical experience, and few of its professors have been able to deduce their rules from theoretical principles. To such persons indeed had its practice been committed that it required no common degree of fortitude and perseverance to elevate the art of landscape gardening to its proper rank and amongst those which distinguish the pleasures of civilised society from the pursuits of savage and barbarous nations. Not deterred by the sneer of ignorance the contradiction of obstinacy, the nonsense of vanity, or the prevalence of false taste, I made the attempt; and with the counsels and advice of men of science, and the countenance of some of the first characters in the kingdom, a very large portion of its scenery has been committed to my care for improvement. Hence it might be expected that, with some degree of confidence, I now should deliver the result of my observations; yet, from the difficulties continually increasing with my knowledge of the subject, I submit this work to the public with far more diffidence than I did my formervolume: because in this, as in every other study, reflectio… |

Veteran garden writer Jerry Minnich presents detailed directions and practical tips for growing vegetables, herbs, flowers, landscaping plants, and house plants, as well as dependable advice on hundreds of garden operations.

Minnich describes more than sixty Michigan vegetables, tells how to grow them, and lists recommended varieties for each.

He tells how to deal with insect and animal pests without using harmful chemicals, and he includes a major section on houseplants. Throughout, Minnich approaches the subject with experience, wit, and style. Readers will learn how to deal with weeds in the lawn, how to surf the landscape for com-posting materials, and how to grow mulch at home. He explains intercropping, companion planting, seed saving, cover cropping, strip composting and other techniques. He tells how to raise unusual crops such as tomatillos and radicchio, as well as the standard favorites. He explains how the science of phenology can help the gardener, how to take a soil test, how to use earthworms to turn household wastes in to compost, and how to attract birds and toads to the garden. And he lists more than a thousand varieties of vegetables, herbs, fruits, and ornamentals that can be trusted to grow in the Michigan climate. "The Michigan Gardening Guide" is the one backyard guide that Michigan gardeners can trust. It is a tool as indispensable as the hoe and the shovel.

Full of gardening wisdom that is as practical as it is timeless, Directions for the Gardiner is also a fascinating glimpse into our gardening heritage. The Kalendarium Hortense and the Acetaria, the other two works collected here, are equally fascinating for their mixture of practical advice and insights into seventeenth-century horticulture. One of the earliest gardening calendars, the Kalendarium gives month-by-month advice on work in the kitchen and flower garden as well as listing each month’s "prime" flowers and vegetables; the Acetaria deals with salad crops, and how best to dress and prepare them for eating. With an introduction and full plant glossary by Maggie Campbell-Culver, a leading garden and plant historian, and boasting an attractive two-color layout and a ribbon marker, Directions for the Gardiner is a charming and eye-opening companion for garden lovers everywhere, and a thoughtful gift for the horticulturalist. |

Gardening With Heirloom Seeds $15.75 Heirloom seeds are more than the promise of next summer’s crookneck squash or jewel-colored zinnias. They’re living antiques handed down from one generation to the next, a rich inheritance of flavor and beauty from long ago and, often, far away. They are sometimes better adapted to pests and harsh conditions than many modern varieties and often simply smell or taste better. Gardening with Heirloom Seeds serves as a resource for gardeners, cooks, and plant lovers of all levels of expertise who want to know more about finding, sharing, and propagating the seeds of heirloom flowers, fruits, and vegetables. In these beautifully illustrated pages, Lynn Coulter describes fifty old-fashioned species that have their roots in the past, from the Frenchman’s Darling, a flowering herb whose seeds were pocketed by Napoleon Bonaparte when he invaded Egypt in 1798, to Snow White beets, an old Dutch favorite that will not stain the cook’s fingers red. Most of the plants included here will grow all across the United States; a few are best suited for warmer climates. The text is sprinkled with practical advice from heirloom gardeners and lists sources for finding the seeds of many old varieties. Because it also provides room for notes, Gardening with Heirloom Seeds can be used year after year and can become an heirloom in its own right–a personal journal to pass along to the next generation of gardeners. |
