It is incumbent upon us to garden, and to do it to the best of our ability. To that end. We invite you to take away those ideas, concepts, and techniques that appeal to you and apply to your garden, and to hold other parts in your personal bank of useful information. In the pages that follow, we touch on the critical environmental and spiritual problems facing us and describe how individual actions rooted in the garden and around the home can make a positive difference. Each of us can make a positive difference by doing something as easy as composting to build soil, or as challenging as changing the way we view our relationship with the world.
Gardening is both a means and an end.
Sustainability is about producing the food and resources we need without depleting the environment qualitatively or quantitatively. Sustainable systems are those that provide through the generations. If we want to bequeath a viable and healthy planet to our children and grandchildren, then we must all adopt a mind-set of sustainability. In this book, you will learn from master gardeners who are pioneering sustainable techniques that you can employ to create a garden of change and take a step forward toward reclaiming paradise on earth. From its considerable experience as a certified organic seed and food company, Seeds of Change, a leader in the field of ecosane gardening, constructs and presents a coherent gardening system based on the strengths of the foremost schools of sustainable practices.
