        The factory in a garden

        A history of corporate landscapes from the industrial to the digital age

        by Helena Chance, Christopher Breward

        When we think about Victorian factories, 'Dark Satanic Mills' might spring to mind - images of blackened buildings and exhausted, exploited workers struggling in unhealthy and ungodly conditions. But for some employees this image was far from the truth, and this is the subject of 'The Factory in a Garden' which traces the history of a factory gardens movement from its late-eighteenth century beginnings in Britain to its twenty-first century equivalent in Google's vegetable gardens at their headquarters in California. The book is the first study of its kind examining the development of parks, gardens, and outdoor leisure facilities for factories in Britain and America as a model for the reshaping of the corporate environment in the twenty-first century. This is also the first book to give a comprehensive account of the contribution of gardens, gardening and recreation to the history of responsible capitalism and ethical working practices.

        EcoGothic gardens in the long nineteenth century

        Phantoms, fantasy and uncanny flowers

        by Sue Edney

        EcoGothic gardens in the long nineteenth century provides fresh approaches to contemporary ecocritical and environmental debates, providing new, compelling insights into material relationships between vegetal and human beings. Through eleven exciting essays, the collection demonstrates how unseen but vital relationships among plants and their life systems can reflect and inform human behaviours and actions. In these entertaining essays, human and vegetal agency is interpreted through ecocritical and ecoGothic investigation of uncanny manifestations in gardens - hauntings, psychic encounters, monstrous hybrids, fairies and ghosts - with plants, greenhouses, granges, mansions, lakes, lawns, flowerbeds and trees as agents and sites of uncanny developments. The collection represents the forefront of ecoGothic critical debate and will be welcomed by specialists in environmental humanities at every level, as a timely, innovative inclusion in ecoGothic studies.

He explains which plants feel at home next to each other and where they thrive and prosper, which points to bear in mind when buying and transporting the plants – and how to plant and cultivate them properly. With helpful planting sketches, numerous ideas for semi-natural plant compositions and detailed plant lists.

        Low-maintenance, Low-impact Vegetable Gardening

        by Martin Crawford

In this book Martin Crawford gives comprehensive advice on all types of perennial vegetable (edible plants that live longer than three years), from ground-cover plants and coppiced trees to plants for bog gardens and edible woodland plants. There are many advantages to growing perennial vegetables, for example: they need less tillage than conventional vegetables and so help retain carbon in the soil the soil structure is not disturbed in their cultivation they extend the harvesting season, especially in early spring  and, of course, they are much less work. Part One looks at why and how to grow these crops, and how to look after them for maximum health. Part Two features over 100 perennial edibles in detail, both common and unusual – from rhubarb to skirret; Jerusalem artichoke to nodding onions.

        Ask Mother Nature

        A Conscious Gardener's Guide

        by Ellen Vande Visse

        ASK MOTHER NATURE takes the reader, step-by-step, into Vande Visse's garden to encounter the onslaught of root fly, eel worms, slugs and spider mites and introduces the idea that you can come to a deal with these pests by talking to them rather than waging chemical warfare on them.So, how do you contact a slug? Vande Visse's awkward attempts to plead for crop mercy will have readers chuckling but will ultimately surprise them when the pests, soil and vegetables offer advice and when they see what continual miracles happen when humans co-create with the angelic realms.ASK MOTHER NATURE is a unique combination: it is both a spiritual development manual and a gardening guide. The narrative challenges spiritual seekers and gardeners to actually live, apply and demonstrate a conscious life by directly communicating with nature. Just how does one do this? This is what Ask Mother Nature uniquely provides:·A plentiful supply of earthy examples. Entertaining first-person stories spell out the steps necessary to garden in conscious cooperation with the joyful spirits of nature.·A simplicity of communicating. Readers develop self-confidence as they realize that the strategy is easy and fun. One need not be highly psychic or even good at meditation.·The Devic perspective. Reading how Nature Intelligences voice their viewpoint is both surprising and touching.
