In this text, horticulturalist Vincent Simeone, demonstrates gardens as living laboratories where we can grow, experiment, and more intimately connect with nature and other living things. This volume challenges readers to move beyond an unsustainable disposable mindset rooted in mass consumption, while teaching readers how to conserve water, and how to plan resilient long-lasting gardens that sustain wild-life while nourishing ourselves.(This book may contain a sharpie mark on the top or bottom edge and may show mild signs of shelfwear.)
