The Resilient Gardener

The Resilient Gardener
Food Production and Self-Reliance in Uncertain Times
by Carol Deppe
Chelsea Green, 2010

Not since the self-sufficiency movement in the 1970s has an American published a book that so adequately explains what it takes to live off the land, even in the midst of climate change and natural disasters.

Author Carol Deppe, a biologist as well as an avid gardener, emphasizes taking control of your own food supply. Her book uses recent discoveries in science to point out ways of making home gardening more efficient and practical. It also suggests ways to prepare for the worst - natural disasters, financial collapse, climate changes, and more.
