I like gardening - it's a place where I find myself when I need to lose myself. - Alice Sebold
Edible Cities is a new book about gardening in unusual urban spaces. New to me that is. It is out in a paperback edition.You can have fresh Herbs, Fruits and Vegetables without pesticides and with fabulous flavor. You can have them if the only space you have to garden is a sunny window, a wall, a balcony or an abandoned building next door.
Trust me, your own homegrown Oregano will have a flavor that is intoxicating. Fresh or dried, your Oregano will surpass any dusty commercial pulverized Oregano you can buy in the supermarkets. I thought I did not like Oregano. And then I grew and dried my own.
Did you know that it is easy to grow Mushrooms at home? Oh the possibilities are many and fascinating.
In side the book you will find:
• Principles of permaculture
• Worldwide examples of urban gardening projects
• Ideas for flats and balconies
• Green roofs
• Vertical gardening and urban beekeeping
• Guerrilla gardening and successful community projects
• Illustrated practical techniques with clear instructions
