Authors Fred Meyer, a certified permaculture designer and founder of the nonprofit Backyard Abundance, and Jen Kardos, a licensed mental health therapist and wellness coach, combine their knowledge and hands-on experience to offer a fresh, holistic approach to eco-conscious gardening. Their methods blend the principles of permaculture and regenerative gardening with practical gardening wisdom and the emotional and physical benefits of time outdoors, helping you create spaces that support both environmental and personal well-being.
Work with nature rather than against it, using a holistic strategy that promotes biodiversity, natural pest and weed control, and year-round abundance. Inside this book, you'll discover how to select and grow 100 productive, low-maintenance plants — 50 fruits and 50 vegetables — suited for urban lots, small yards, and larger spaces alike. The book also includes detailed guidance on building practical garden systems, such as high-yield mini orchards, edible borders, and low-effort irrigation solutions. You'll learn how to spend less time weeding and watering while cultivating a resilient garden that thrives in harmony with the land.
Meyer and Kardos also explore how gardens can nurture both physical and mental health, emphasizing the therapeutic benefits of connecting with nature. Whether you're a first-time gardener, a busy parent growing food for your family, or someone seeking a more mindful lifestyle and trying to reduce your environmental impact, Low-Maintenance Eco Gardens offers a clear, encouraging path to success.
Grow more with less effort, live more in tune with nature, and discover how a low-stress, high-impact garden can be a source of nourishment, joy, and wellness all year long, with Low-Maintenance Eco Gardens!
