In this eminently readable primer on the fundamentals of placing stone, Kevin Gardner distills 25 years of experience in building and repairing New England-style dry stone walls into principles and practices that are adaptable to a wide variety of designs and circumstances. In addition to directions on building basic stone walls, he also demystifies steps, wells, ramps, walkways, and may other forms of dry masonry. Gardner also discusses the philosophy behind the repair and restoration of old walls, and gives the beginning wall builder ways to think about the place of the stone wall within the landscape. Along the way, Gardner considers the mythology of the stone wall and its place in the New England imagination. And he explores the history, philosophy, and aesthetics of working with stone in a book that will bring as much pleasure to armchair craftsmen as it will valuable instruction to the beginning wall builder.

With the recent revival of interest in historic gardens and heirloom plants, Old Time Gardens has once again become a valued, if hard to find, resource for gardeners and landscape designers, and historians. This new edition, featuring an introduction by landscape historian Virginia Lopez Begg, makes this classic work available to a new generation of readers. Old Time Gardens celebrates the plants and garden designs of early America. Distinguished by its inviting style, wealth of detailed information about plants, design and garden ornaments, and captivating descriptions and photographs of historic gardens, the book is still regularly cited in books and magazine articles, and recommended on web sites. Earle's advocacy of historic garden designs was rooted in her strong sense of the garden as a place to live in, and to interact with nature, family and friends, according to Begg. For Earle, the significance of gardens lay not just in their design and plants, but also in their association with the people who cultivated and used them. Accessible, informative, inspiring, and lavishly illustrated, this classic work is still a valuable resource for gardeners, landscape designers, and an essential volume for garden historians.","brand":"Summer Beam Books","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":45861012996406,"sku":"","price":12.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0745\/2301\/7526\/files\/IMG_0368.jpg?v=1689707026"},{"product_id":"our-vanishing-landscape","title":"Our Vanishing Landscape","description":"Written with humor and affection, and enhanced with 81 of the author's charming, historically accurate drawings, \u003ci\u003eOur Vanishing Landscape\u003c\/i\u003e takes readers on a leisurely sojourn through a bygone era.

Holding his designs to a higher standard, Jadrnicek's components serve at least seven functions (classical permaculture theory only seeks at least two functions). With every additional function a component performs, the design becomes more advanced and saves more energy. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eA bio-integrated greenhouse, for example, doesn't just extend the season for growing vegetables; it also serves as a rainwater collector, a pond site, an aquaponics system, and a heat generator.

Although applicable in many climates, his designs are particularly important for areas coping with water scarcity. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eJadrnicek focuses on his experience as farm manager at the Clemson University Student Organic Farm and at his residence in the foothills of the Blue Ridge Mountains. These locations lie at the cooler northern edge of a humid subtropical climate that extends west to the middle of Texas and north along the coast to New Jersey. He has created permaculture patterns ranging from raising transplants and field design to freshwater prawn production and composting. These patterns have simplified the operation of the 125-share CSA farm while reducing reliance on outside resources. In less time than it takes to mow his two-acre homestead, Jadrnicek is building a you-pick fruit farm using permaculture patterns. His landscape requires only the labor of harvesting, and the only outside input he buys is a small amount of chicken feed. By carefully engaging the free forces of nature--water, wind, sunlight, convection, gravity, and decomposition--Jadrnicek creates sustenance without maintenance and transforms waste into valuable farm resources.\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe Bio-Integrated Farm\u003c\/i\u003e offers in-depth information about designing and building a wide range of bio-integrated projects including reflecting ponds, water-storage ponds, multipurpose basins, greenhouses, compost heat extraction, pastured chicken systems, aquaculture, hydroponics, hydronic heating, water filtration and aeration, cover cropping, and innovative rainwater-harvesting systems that supply water for drip irrigation and flushing toilets. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cb\u003e\"[Jadrnicek's] visions are addictive, teaching you not just to \u003ci\u003ethink\u003c\/i\u003e outside the box by harmonizing natural systems but to \u003ci\u003eact \u003c\/i\u003eoutside the box to create inexpensive and highly functional growing environments that are much more profitable and efficient than traditional growing systems.\"--Tradd Cotter, author of \u003ci\u003eOrganic Mushroom Farming and Mycoremediation\u003c\/i\u003e\u003c\/b\u003e","brand":"Summer Beam Books","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":48243372884278,"sku":"","price":44.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0745\/2301\/7526\/files\/81gH2SpoiDL._SL1500.jpg?v=1736369451"},{"product_id":"the-cottage-garden-contributors-dalby-claus-author","title":"The Cottage Garden","description":"\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eThrough over 700 exquisite photographs and evocative text written by Danish gardening celebrity Claus Dalby, explore the history and development of the beloved cottage garden design style.\u003c\/b\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eIn the pages of \u003ci\u003eThe Cottage Garden\u003c\/i\u003e, you'll first draw inspiration from \u003cb\u003ethe stories and landscapes of generations of famous cottage gardeners\u003c\/b\u003e, including Gertrude Jekyll, Vita Sackville-West, William Robinson, Margery Fish, and Tasha Tudor.

He set himself to apply the results of a lifetime of studying and experimenting with agricultural theories on his farms. The letters, notes, and drawings that Jefferson left to posterity record his contributions to scientific agriculture.

Organized topically, the annotations and extracts paint a uniquely complete portrait of plantation life and activity. Jefferson's records reveal an experimental farm, implementing such innovations as horizontal plowing, a crop-rotation plan, and Jefferson's revolutionary moldboard plow.

As early professionals who navigated the world of a male-dominated intellectual and menial work force they were exponents of modernity.

No matter the \"feel\" you wish to convey in your garden--casual, formal, or whimsical--Fowler's book enables you to create it with confidence. Your range of hardscape options is incredibly vast, from small, container-sized fountains that complement any space with added sound and movement, to large in-ground or aboveground ponds and streams. Larger installations not only provide soothing, rejuvenating sights and sounds; they can also house fish and plants and passively attract natural wildlife to your backyard.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Summer Beam Books","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":49423602680118,"sku":"","price":26.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0745\/2301\/7526\/files\/A1u7f10oh-L._SL1500.jpg?v=1735081362"},{"product_id":"the-architecture-of-trees-contributors-leonardi-cesare-author-stagi-franca-author","title":"The Architecture of Trees","description":"\u003cb\u003e\"Any landscape architect worth their soil should pick up \u003ci\u003eThe Architecture of Trees\u003c\/i\u003e, an all-encompassing atlas of all things tree-related.\"--\u003ci\u003eThe Architect's Newspaper\u003c\/i\u003e\u003c\/b\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cb\u003eAn incredible book for anyone interested in trees, this botanical masterwork's new edition preserves the original magnificent illustrations and text, translated into English for the first time.\u003c\/b\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eSelected as an \"Oprah's Favorite Things\" pick upon its release, \u003ci\u003eThe Architecture of Trees\u003c\/i\u003e is a gorgeous, large-format volume that features more than 550 exquisite quill-pen drawings of trees.
