A twice-weekly sharing of eco-shwag.
Today’s giveaway’s a copy of Gaia’s Garden: A Guide to Home-Scale Permaculture, a book by Toby Hemenway that promises to show you how to harness nature’s power towards your own gardening goals.
Read my review of Gaia’s Garden to find out how you can stop spending all your time pulling weeds and start reaping the benefits of much-lightened gardening labors. Comment by Tuesday to get into the drawing, which’ll happen Wednesday (more info on freebies here). US addresses only.

That is exactly the kind of information I need! I’ve started really gardening this year, and have been thinking that I should have my flowers mixed with my veggies and fruits. Just not sure how!

I am not sure who would enjoy this garden book more, my sister, my 90 year old dad or me!
My dad will turn 91 in July and he still has a great vegetable garden! My sister and I share his love of nature and natural gardening. Our mom had a green thumb out of this world! Please enter my name in your drawing. This book would make a great Father’s Day gift for our dad. Many thanks to you,
Cindi
