Performance in the Garden: A Collection of Talks on Biodynamic French Intensive Horticulture

Performance in the Garden: A Collection of Talks on Biodynamic French Intensive Horticulture by Chadwick, Alan. paperback edition. ISBN: 9780981575704.

Gardening. Environmental Studies. E.M. Schumacher (Small Is Beautiful) called Englishman Alan Chadwick "the greatest horticulturist of the 20th century." Chadwick was a student of Rudolf Steiner, an early advocate of organics, and founder of French Intensive Biodynamic System. He railed against the tragic policies of corporate agribusiness, while cultivating gardens of sublime beauty and production in the 60s and 70s throughout the United States. Nearly everyone practicing biodynamics today has been kissed by the Chadwick transmission. Up until now his unique artistic approach and deep perception of nature were unavailable in writing. PERFORMANCE IN THE GARDEN harvests sixteen incredible, inspired and practical talks that will help us, as herbalist and friend Paul Lee aptly put it, "replant the vital root of existence."
