Description
Living in a crowded city need not mean uprooting one’s connection with Nature. Arthur van Langenberg takes the mystery out of city gardening. He shows, in down-to-earth terms, how it is possible to connect with Mother Earth while managing with restricted spaces, the elements and pests which include birds, dogs, cats and the occasional philistine neighbour.
Established gardeners and rank beginners alike will find something helpful among these pages, which are sprinkled with anecdotes, recipes, photographs, illustrations, home-grown humour and grass-roots philosophy. Non-gardeners will also enjoy this celebration of nature and ecology in words and pictures.
If you belong to the huge Hong Kong diaspora, perhaps this journal will renew your acquaintance with some well-loved plants or spur you on to grow your own Chinese vegetables such as pak choi or choi sum. Help lies within the pages.
The index includes over 200 plants which he has either grown himself or has closely observed. Written in clear and simple language, this journal is a true companion to the nature lover.
