We don’t share your credit card details with third-party sellers, and we don’t sell your information to others. However, the book does work as a concept with its own focus and I think if you haven't read Fowler's earlier work then this is actually the best place to start. This book proposes a way of gardening where edible plants are incorporated into gardens, rather than being the sole preserve of allotments and kitchen gardens. Her inspiration for urban gardening comes from her time volunteering in a community garden on the Lower East side in Manhattan, New York City.She has an allotment and an urban back garden with two chickens, lots of flowers and plenty of vegetables. From perennial vegetables that come back year after year, to easy-to-grow delights, she has selected plants that hold their own in both the garden and on the plate.
