Description

Pathways to Abundant Gardens is for those who are looking for inspiration and guidance in growing their own food using natural methods.

It highlights the voices of over twenty outstanding gardeners and farmers, people who have lived and breathed organic gardening. Many of them have certified organic gardens and farms—all adhere to practices that meet or exceed organic standards recognized worldwide. Even though all the people interviewed live in Hawai‘i, they have experience from all over the world and their advice transcends geographic location.

Although this book presents some how-to information, its primary purpose is to inspire novice and experienced gardeners. Most people rarely have the opportunity to see a range of vibrant, diverse organic gardens, and these photos will give them a taste of what is certainly hiding in their own neighborhoods. Nothing substitutes for real-life experience, so hopefully this book will lead readers to seek out master gardeners in their community for locally-relevant specifics. A brief list of resource materials recommended by the interviewed gardeners appears at the end of each chapter.
