                   Grow Organic
                   by Elizabeth Peirce
                   Grow Organic deals with specifically Nova Scotian issues, giving advice about
                   our growing season, which types of vegetables grow best here, and where to
                   get local organic seeds. The book also contains a chapter of inspirational
                   profiles of specific gardeners and farmers from around the province. The book
                   is written in a friendly, straightforward manner, and is intended as a simple and
                   accessible guide for people with a specific interest in organic vegetable
gardening. It includes many illustrative photographs and recipes.

                    Small-Plot, High-Yield Gardening
                    by Sal Gilbertie
                    In Small-Plot, High-Yield Gardening, Sal Gilbertie and Larry Sheehan will
                    help you turn your sprawling suburban acreage or postage stamp-sized plot
                    into a low-impact, all-organic, totally sustainable produce garden. You’ll learn
                    about the most effective natural fertilizers, drought-resistant cultivation
                    methods, pest-repellent companion plantings, trends in heirloom herb and
                    vegetable varieties, and raised-bed techniques for achieving maximum
productivity in a limited space. You can even add a cutting garden so you’ll always have fresh
flowers on a kitchen table that’s groaning under the weight of incomparably fresh vegetables
seasoned with a variety of home-grown herbs.

                   Organic Gardening for Dummies

                   methods, composting, cultivation without chemicals, and how to battle plant
                   diseases. It also has information on updated equipment and resources. It helps

                   Stuart Robertson’s Tips on Organic Gardening
                   by Stuart Robertson
                   Brimming with simple but effective techniques perfected over decades of dirty
                   work, novice and experienced gardeners alike benefit from this charming
                   handbook on the joys of rural and urban gardening in the northern United
                   States. Emphasizing the use of products carefully formulated to positively
                   impact the environment, each tip and explanation works tirelessly toward the
                   overarching goal of demystifying the world of organic gardening. Chapters
                   such as Composting; Fertilizing; Watering and Irrigation; Planting; Lawn Care;
Pests; Putting the Garden to Bed; and Tools ensure that this handy guide will become dog-eared
and soiled from the wear and tear of constant referencing.

                    The Elements of Organic Gardening
                    by Charles, Prince of Wales
                    For 26 years, the Prince of Wales has passionately honed the organic practices
                    used at Highgrove, Their Royal Highnesses’ family home in Gloucestershire,
                    as well as in his other gardens at Birkhall in the Scottish Highlands and
                    Clarence House in central London. Now, alongside Andrew Lawson’s elegant
                    photographs and with Country Living gardening editor Stephanie Donaldson,
                    the Prince’s vivid elucidation of his techniques for maintaining healthy soil,
planting varieties, and sustaining an ecosystem “in harmony with the natural laws and rhythms of
the universe of which we are an integral part” offers a wealth of wisdom to delight and inspire
any gardener. His practices, based on a deep respect for nature, can be adapted to almost any
garden, large or small. The Prince is hands-on in his gardens, and it is this passion that reveals
itself intimately to be at the heart of The Elements of Organic Gardening. 200 full-colour
photographs.

                  The Atlantic Gardener’s Greenbook
                  by Jodi DeLong
                  Saltscapes’ magazine gardening editor Jodi DeLong believes that anyone can
                  garden, and that every garden is a thing of beauty. With this publication,
                  DeLong takes the reader from the ground up in planning and planting a garden
                  using organic methods and sage suggestions.

                   New Kitchen Garden
                   by Adam Caplin
                   Growing your own herbs, vegetables and fruit organically, and harvesting
                   them to make healthy meals, is fun and fulfilling. As New Kitchen Garden
                   explains, the whole process can be much simpler than you imagine – even if
                   your outdoor space is no more than a patio or a roof-top garden. Focusing on
                   plants that are easy to grow, Adam Caplin takes a new look at the delights of
cultivating edibles, showing how they can be grown - on their own in beds and containers, in
mixed borders, and decoratively with flowers – for their ornamental as well as their nutritional
value. Acclaimed cookery writer Celia Brooks Brown then takes the kitchen garden into the
kitchen with 35 great vegetarian recipes – soups and starters, main courses, salads and light
dishes, salsas and chutneys and sweet things.

                 Compost
                 by Vicki Mattern
                 Let the editors from Rodale Organic Gardening – the world’s leading authority
                 on organic techniques-- show you how to build a compost pile, troubleshoot
                 compost complaints, keep toxins out of your pile, and use compost to produce
                 healthy soil and plants without using chemicals.


                 Maria Rodale’s Organic Gardening
                 by Maria Rodale
                 From the leading name in organic gardening comes a guide to creating a garden
                 that is organically balanced & aesthetically beautiful. Using sophisticated
                 design techniques from authorities in every field of gardening, readers will learn
                 the secrets of creating a landscape that’s gorgeous, productive, and time- &
                 energy-efficient.

                   Rodale’s All-New Encyclopedia of Organic Gardening
                   by Fern Marshall Bradley
                   Attitudes have changed in the 32 years since the first edition, and the idea of
                   eschewing chemical pesticides and fertilizers in favour of compost piles, crop
                   rotation, and other such means of growing healthy plants has broader
                   acceptance. The Encyclopedia sets forth the basics, with entries on a large
                   number of plants and their cultivation, soil preparation methods, pests, garden
                   plans, etc.

                  IPM for Gardeners
                  by Raymond A. Cloyd
                  Despite a plethora of technical IPM training manuals, no book until now has
                  distilled its core philosophy for the home gardener, so that he or she can learn
                  to manage plant health as the professionals do, based on scientific principles. In
                  IPM for Gardeners, a team of experts explains how any gardener can use IPM
                  techniques for success at home. Authoritative, well-illustrated, and packed with
                  case studies, this volume promises to change the way we see our gardens.

                  Organic Gardening for Kids

                  People all around the world enjoy the hobby of gardening. They love planting

               Organic Gardening for Canada
               by Laura Peters
               Organic gardening is natural. It’s using compost instead of chemical fertilizers to
               improve the health of your soil. It’s using mulches to retain moisture and reduce
               watering needs. It’s proven: chemical fertilizers and pesticides have a negative
               impact – on our health, on the environment and on future generations. The
               author of more than 25 gardening books, Laura Peters has practised and taught
               about organic gardening for years. In this book, she explores the subject
thoroughly:
    • Hundreds of colour photographs
    • Special considerations for Canadian garden seasons
    • The importance of healthy soil
    • Creating and maintaining an organic garden
    • Planning and designing a variety of organic gardens, including: container gardens, edible
       gardens, water gardens and naturalized wildlife gardens
    • Caring for plants the organic way
    • Pest and disease problems and treatments.
