Get Support with Growing Food

Most modern gardening relies on external inputs to replace functions that a healthy ecosystem can perform for free. When we dismantle these natural partnerships, our costs go up and our garden’s resilience goes down. This Ecological Gardening Handbook teaches you how to repair these broken systems so you can learn how to:

Build healthy living soil: without depending on compost, minerals, and other inputs.
Control pests naturally: without the need for any sprays.
Save time: a well-functioning ecosystem does most of the work for you.
Improve your food security: Grow hardier crops that are less vulnerable heat domes, flooding rains and other extreme weather.
Grow nutritious food: Discover the key to transforming your homegrown crops into nutrient-dense superfoods by fostering the complex soil life required to deliver deep nourishment to your plants.

The Ecological Gardening Handbook, by Dr. Wendy Seabrook, is over 100 pages packed full of clear diagrams, success stories, and links to hands-on videos showing how gardeners apply the principles.
