Zusammenfassung
This beautiful and inspirational portrait of a country garden shows how its owners created deep connections to the natural world with techniques and advice any gardener can use.

In 2018 photographers Susann Probst and Yannic Schon left Berlin for the German countryside with the aim of maintaining a healthy ecosystem through sustainable farming. They bought an old farmhouse on a plot of land with room for a vegetable garden, fruit orchard, flower meadow and greenhouse. Filled with useful and hard-won information that is the result of both ingenuity and trial-and-error, this book takes readers on a detailed and exquisitely illustrated tour of the property and its development over five years. Susann and Yannic share what they’ve learned about garden design, soils composition, beneficial organisms, “pests,” edible perennials, and seed storage, and include a listing of all the species and varieties they’ve planted. A breathtaking photographic section celebrates the beauty of the land throughout the seasons. More than a garden-variety gardening guide, this deeply personal and gorgeously produced book documents a lifelong dream becoming a reality—and celebrates a contemporary approach to intentional living that will speak to anyone looking for ways to deepen their own relationship with nature.
