"A note from Flor!
I thought about this book to introduce kids and aspiring gardeners to the wonderful benefits of natural gardening.
If you continue to read on, you will discover the important roles that worms and garbage play when trying to grow something naturally or organically (as it is sometimes called). But more importantly, what I would really like for you to learn is that the real key to successful natural gardening is found in the soil."

Еще в глубокой древности наши предки стали замечать, какое удивительное действие оказывает движение Луны на выращиваемые культуры. Проходя через разные знаки Зодиака, спутник Земли влияет на все виды сельскохозяйственных работ: от посева семян до сбора урожая. Многовековые наблюдения и опыт поколений земледельцев говорят нам о том, что даже из некачественных семян, посаженных в соответствии с лунным календарем, могут вырасти более крепкие и урожайные растения, чем из отборных семян, высаженных не вовремя.

Since the 1890s, providing places for people to garden has been an inventive strategy to improve American urban conditions. There have been vacant-lot gardens, school gardens, Depression-era relief gardens, victory gardens, and community gardens--each representing a consistent impulse to return to gardening during times of social and economic change. In this critical history of community gardening in America, the most comprehensive review of the greening of urban communities to date, Laura J. Lawson documents the evolution of urban garden programs in the United States. Her vibrant narrative focuses on the values associated with gardening, the ebb and flow of campaigns during times of social and economic crisis, organizational strategies of these primarily volunteer campaigns, and the sustainability of current programs.
