  •                 Holistic Gardening 
            The Five Principles of Success

            This informative reader is a fabulous entrée into the wonderful world of organic gardening. It is an innovative account of a system for growing high quality, healthy and nutritious fresh produce at home.

             Each principle reveals step-by-step methods for improving plant growth and increasing crop productivity. Holistic Gardening includes practical instruction on creating and maintaining healthy soils, developing sustainable organic practice and adopting an eco-friendly approach to your gardening practices. 

  •    The five principles explained form the basic where, how,   
       why, when     and what:

      The Where - Feng Shui in the Garden

    We are encompassed in a world of invisible forces. By uncovering ancient wisdoms found in the Chinese art of feng shui, Holistic Gardening reveals the secret to recognizing and understanding these influences, where to plant and how to access these secret energies for gardening success.

      The How - No-Dig Gardening

    How to grow succulent organic veggies is described in a clear and methodical way by developing precepts previously espoused by pioneering gurus, Esther Deans and Mary Horsfall.

      The Why - Organics

    The why of Holistic Gardening is explained in an easy-to-follow regime called organics – this shows how to grow fresh, organic produce at home without using chemicals.

       The When - Lunar Planting

    This principle explores the age-old practice of crop enhancement by planting during favourable periods of the lunar cycle. Planting by the moon brings increased health and vitality to plants.

       The What - Companion Planting

    Some plants grow better near certain other plants (much like people I suppose). Holistic Gardening chronicles a list common veggies that grow well together and advises the reader of ‘what ones’ do not (this is called antagonistic planting).

  • beans and pumkin - good companions

    Organic garlic - fresh from the garden

  • Bathtub salad mix

  • Pumpkins for food - sunflowers for beauty

  • Tatsoi (Pak Choy)

  • Parsnips in flower - golden squash in the background

    Giant Russioan Sunflower
