In this all-region guide, filled with tested horticultural tips, the experts of the Brooklyn Botanic Garden offer complete directions for creating a community garden or improving an existing one. Models include vegetable gardens, aesthetic and art gardens, children's and youth gardens, and several others. Using real-life case studies in Brooklyn and elsewhere, they show how gardening produces safe, eco-friendly food, brings neighbors together, offers valuable science lessons for children, and gives each participant the personal satisfaction that comes with cultivating the land and making things grow. Like all Brooklyn Botanic Garden handbooks, this entry features sustainable and organic gardening practices. |
