"Did you know you can have a garden that's equal parts food source and wildlife haven? In 'Grow now,' Emily Murphy [California-based regenerative organic gardener, photographer and designer] shares easy-to-follow principles for regenerative gardening that foster biodiversity and improve soil health. She also shows how every single yard mirrors and connects to the greater ecosystem around us. No-dig growing, composting and mulching smartly, and planting a variety of edible perennials that attract bees and butterflies are all common-sense techniques everyone can use to grow positive change. You'll also find detailed advice on increasing your nature quotient, choosing plants that cycle more carbon back into the soil, selecting a broader variety of vegetables and fruits to improve overall soil fertility, rethinking space devoted to lawns, and adding companion plants for pollinators to rewild any plot of land. Exquisitely photographed and filled with helpful lists and sidebars, 'Grown now' is an actionable, hopeful, and joyful roadmap for growing our way to individual climate contribution." --Back cover.
