The Heirloom Gardener - Traditional Plants and Skills draws from John Forti's new book "The Heirloom Gardener" Richly illustrated with period images and contemporary woodcuts, his book shares inspiration for the modern world from our long history of heirloom preservation, garden craft and homestead lifeways. Artisanal gardening lifestyles are helping us to rebuild vibrant local agricultural economies and celebrate sustainable cottage industries that are contributing to our new, homegrown American arts & crafts movement and backyard environmentalism. At a time when we could all use a little good news, we hope you will join us for a refreshing look at how you can make a difference and build habitat in your own backyard and community.
