| Alan Chadwick: Performance in the Garden, A Collection |
| Stephen J Crimini ed,2007, 341 pp.
A transcription of 16 lectures, most of them are from Carmel-in-the-Valley, Virginia, in September 1979.
Alan was a great actor as well as a master horticulturist. There is a huge amount of horticultural knowledge in Charwick's lectures. You cannot just read through, or listen to this, once - you could productively re-read these many times and still be learning something new. His inimical, idiosyncratic style of speaking was a powerful part of his teaching. Alan incorporates fables and myths and cultural wit and quirky language, as well as a broad range of horticultural information and techniques in these pages.
There is much material here that is not covered by the other book on Alan Chadwick, Reverence, Obedience and the Invisible in the Garden .or the CD. |

| Alan Chadwick: A Vision of Biodynamic Horticulture |
| Alan Chadwick, 1975,Over 7 hours of recordings,1975
Alan Chadwick was a legendary master gardener who studied at the great horticultureal centers in England and France. There is a huge amount of horticultural knowledge in Charwick’s lectures. You cannot just read through, or listen to this once, you could productively re-read these many times and still be learning something new. Note that the book and the CDs are not the same lectures, and their content differs somewhat.
The quality of these recordings is very good, especially considering the state of recording. Alan was also a legendary actor, so the recordings have all the dramatic elements he brought to his teaching. The lectures are: The Vision of Biodynamic Horticulture, Propagation, Fertilization, and Potpourri (miscellaneous subjects).

| Animal, Vegetable, Miracle |
| Animal, Vegetable, Miracle: A Year of Food Life
Barbara Kingsolver
Barbara Kingsolver and her family were living in Arizona and loved being there but they wanted to do more to be self-sufficient. They found it difficult in such a dry climate, so they moved back to West Virginia where her family was from. There they commenced a family experiment to grow and raise as much of their own food as possible, and keep their food purchases to within 100 miles. This book tells that story in a very readable way.
I love my garden passionately and feel strongly about being a locovore. This is probably why this book by Barbara Kingsolver hit such a strong chord in me. We are putting in an asparagus bed as I was reading that part in her book, harmonic convergence. I found myself encouraged and inspired, and you just might be as well! |
