STEPHANIE ROSE: THE REGENERATIVE GARDEN
ON BIG BLEND RADIO: Master Gardener and award-winning author Stephanie Rose discusses her new book, “The Regenerative Garden: 80 Practical Projects for Creating a Self-sustaining Garden Ecosystem.” Watch here in the YouTube player or listen/download the podcast on PodBean, and SoundCloud.
“The Regenerative Garden” is a guide to working with nature, instead of against it, by employing permaculture techniques to create a garden that is not just more beautiful and productive, but also more resilient. Whatever the size of your space, from a tiny patio garden to a big backyard, and whether you grow food, flowers, shrubs, trees, or a combination of all, The Regenerative Garden is here to help you become a better, more eco-conscious gardener.
The 80 featured projects include step-by-step instructions on how to:
– Employ intensive planting to reduce weeding and watering chores
– Use living mulches to amend the soil
– Build self-watering planters and wicking beds to reduce water use
– Install a rain garden to catch runoff
– Plant a wildlife hedge to support creatures and create a windbreak and noise buffer
– Compost projects and systems to repurpose waste on-site
– Make a butterfly migration station to support pollinators of all sorts
A healthy, organic, regenerative garden is a perfect example of a self-sustaining ecosystem; everything works in tandem, is intricately connected, and comes full circle to create its own never-ending cycle of life.
