The Wild & Free Garden is your guide to creating a stunning outdoor space using found materials, free resources, community connections, and your own creativity.
Imagine designing a beautiful and inspiring garden at a cost far less than you ever thought possible. Author Stephanie Rose of Garden Therapy® shows you how to do just that by tapping into the sharing economy, where you can find a wealth of free or low-cost materials with exceptional quality and style. The secret is knowing where and how to look.
The benefits of Stephanie’s approach reach far beyond free stuff. The Wild & Free Garden returns you to the roots of community building and shows you how to create a garden that reflects your individual style, creativity, and personality. You’ll spend less, waste less, and uncover an abundance that money can’t buy. With every project and with every seed you plant, you’ll grow a deeper connection to your garden, your community, and yourself.
Wild: Wildness is our history, when life was simpler, entwined with family and neighbors, and in tune with nature.
Free: Freedom is our abundance, found by sourcing well-crafted, long-lasting items for free, celebrating personal style, and sharing with the community.
Illustrated with vibrant color photography, The Wild & Free Garden teaches you to:
Stephanie outlines everything you need to implement community projects such as a tool-lending library, seed exchange, or group purchasing club. Plus, find a dozen photo-illustrated step-by-step DIY projects that include building a dry riverbed, a wildflower lawn, and a vintage trailer as a guesthouse.
More than just a gardening book, this is an invitation to join a movement that’s cultivating not just plants, but also stronger communities and a more sustainable world; just by stepping outside your door and accessing what is waiting for you.
