Native American Gardening: Stories, Projects & Recipes For Families (o)

Author: Caduto, Michael J

The publisher, fulcrum@fulcrum-books.com , April 23, 1999
Learn to create Native gardens, crafts and meals!
In Native North America, a garden is not just a place to grow food. Tending a garden is one of the most important ways that people become a part of the Circle of Life. Combining the magical world of stories with the nurturing experience of gardening, Caduto and Bruchac provide information needed to pursue "Three Sisters" gardening: growing the traditional Native garden of corn, beans, and squash.

Readers will learn about the relationships between people and the gardens of Earth, seed preservation, Native diets and meals, natural pest control, and the importance of the Circle of Life.

Description from The Reader's Catalog
The authors of the best-selling Keepers of the Earth series present a gardening activity book for families. Centering around the Native American approach to gardening, this lovely book combines stories, activities, and recipes to teach the techniques of native farmers--seed preservation, natural pest control--and introduces the relationship between people and gardens

Reviews
From Publisher's Weekly - Publishers Weekly

Box 147, Point Roberts, Wash. 98281), is updated to include modern flower varieties and gardening techniques.
