Gardening Gurus in the Fall
We are ridiculously excited to be presenting on September 1, 2011, gardening gurus, Patrick Lima & John Scanlan’s new, revised, updated, engaging, informative and fabulous The Organic Home Garden.
Patrick is the author of seven gardening books previously published by Key Porter and Camden House, as well as owner, with his partner John Scanlan, of the well-known Bruce Peninsula oasis, Larkwhistle.
With over 30 years of organic gardening experience, Patrick writes credibly and honestly, offering a step by step, no-nonsense approach for anyone interested in pursuing a greener, healthier lifestyle.
John is the visual artist of the duo, offering collage in photography and mixed media to create vibrant interpretations of everyday items.
In the Organic Home Garden, Patrick and John, take readers step-by-step through the engaging process of growing the best possible food – from spring’s first spinach, asparagus and salad greens, through the summer abundance of tomatoes, cucumbers, melons and all, right into fall’s harvest of squash, leeks, carrots and potatoes.
Often, a small timely tip makes all the difference, and this dynamic team leaves nothing out. Whether you tend a small city yard, a full-size country garden or something in between, their instructive, easy to follow and often humorous advice will ensure you make the very best use of the space you have — and you can’t get any more local, seasonal and organic than food from your own yard.
Combine this with John’s unique and vibrant artistic paintings, and you have a book that stands out from the wall of glossy, manufactured gardening publications, making The Organic Home Garden a stand-alone, stand-out book sure to intrigue and capture gardeners, artists and customers who conduct their lives to a different rhythm.
