New Book The Shaker Garden: Beauty Through Utility Author: Stephanie Donaldson Book Description: The Shakers of the American northeast were careful and caring gardeners, and each of their village communities was self-sufficient, growing fruit, herbs, flowers and vegetables in an organic, sustainable way. In the environmentally aware twenty-first century we still have much to learn from the Shaker approach to gardening. The Shaker Garden provides a practical guide to creating a beautiful and productive garden, or adapting part of an existing design. Sound horticultural information combines with step by step projects, including building raised beds, creating a birdhouse, making wooden seed trays and recipes for herb flavored honey and edible flower salads. this book is an invitation to simplify, to sweep away the clutter and use natural methods and materials to create a garden that is a rich source of food and a calm oasis for relaxation. Stephanie Donaldson has run the vegetable garden on an organic farm and also managed a large formal garden for eight years. She lives next to the sea on the south coast of England where the mild climate allows her to experiment with growing Mediterranean plants.
