Great Gardening Books

Sometimes, us too, need a bit of refreshment and inspiration to run the farm. At those times, we would look into different books to inspire us and give us ideas of what to do next! We are recommending three great books about gardening that surely have inspired us and hopefully will inspire you too.

1. How to Grow Food in Small Spaces

This book by The Little Veggie Patch Co, a Melbourne-based initiative, is fun to read, insightful and practical for home gardeners. It taught us how to grow your own food, even if you only have a small space.

2. The One-Straw Revolution

A book by Masanobu Fukuoka, which is rather a combination of zen and the art of farming for those of you who are into the philosophical side of things. In this book, he elaborated about his “do-nothing” philosophy: common sense, sustainable practices and eliminating wasteful effort.

3. Kitchen Garden Companion

If your satisfaction comes from cooking fresh ingredients that you grow yourself, then this is the perfect book for you. A comprehensive book from planting up to methods of cooking your crops by Stephanie Alexander will be a good company along your journey.
