In it, he began his interviews with vegetables, which have continued for 30 years. This book is the result of those \"biographies.\" As he tell us: \u003c\/p\u003e\"Though these biographies are arranged alphabetically for convenience [from Asian Brassicas to Winter Squash], each chapter reflects my own changing point of view, depending on the date of interview. Some begin historically, some morphologically, and some so imaginatively they seem to reawaken Margareta's childhood shamanism, which became beautifully elaborated through Rudolf Steiner's spiritual view of nature, the foundation of biodynamics.\"\u003cp\u003eThis book is not only a gardening guide; it also guides the reader inwardly to perceive a vegetable as \"a work of art, a journey, a rite of passage into the natural world.\" \u003ci\u003eVegetable Gardening for Organic and Biodynamic Growers\u003c\/i\u003e is destined to become not just a perennially useful guide, but also a favorite bedside book.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Lindisfarne Books","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":45033669230743,"sku":"9781584201670","price":2647.0,"currency_code":"INR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0666\/3471\/1191\/files\/9781584201670.webp?v=1769209697","url":"https:\/\/atlanticbooks.com\/products\/vegetable-gardening-for-organic-and-biodynamic-growers-home-and-market-gardeners-9781584201670","provider":"Atlantic Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
