Growing California Native Plants, Second Edition

Expanded and Updated

By: Marjorie G. Schmidt,Katherine L. Greenberg

First published thirty years ago, the long-awaited second edition of Growing California Native Plants is the ideal hands-on native plant guide for both experienced and novice gardeners. In addition to the voluminous knowledge contributed by Marjorie G. Schmidt, now deceased, Katherine L. Greenberg has taken note of the vibrant state of today’s horticultural scene, adding plants and ideas that were little known when the book first appeared. Lavishly illustrated with 200 new color photographs, drawings, maps, and charts, this concise and easy-to-use reference covers trees, shrubs, perennials, annuals, bulbs, grasses, and vines, and includes a plant selection guide for quick reference. The authors, whose combined experience spans six decades, take California’s summer-dry climate and restricted water supplies into account and provide helpful notes on companion plants and gardening with wildlife. Practical and informative, Growing California Native Plants is a valuable reference for gardeners everywhere in California and an enjoyable book simply to explore.

Growing California Native Plants

By: Marjorie G. Schmidt

This is the first comprehensive book to aid the gardener in making a start with native plants. It takes the gardener through the beginning steps of identifying native plants, evaluating them in relation to conventional garden materials, and learning detailed techniques of propagation and culture. Annuals, perennials (including ferns), bulbs, shrubs and trees are included—with about 350 species treated in detail, and many others included in charts and listings for quick reference. A few California native plants have been in cultivation for a hundred years or so, but widespread consciousness of natives is relatively recent. It has arisen partly because of the recent drought, which natives survived more readily than exotics, and partly because of growing awareness that many natives have become rare or endangered, and may be preserved and perpetuated by cultivation for their ornamental qualities. The book is in full accord with the new trend in landscaping in which the environment, climate, and restricted water supplies are taken into account—not only for gardens but also for parks, roadside plantings, and other large-scale landscaping. Because propagation and cultural methods for many native plants have never been recorded, the author spent years gathering information through correspondence. She has also had personal experience in growing natives for more than 30 years. The result is the first complete, practical, convenient guide for growing native plants. It will be essential for the experienced gardener and the beginner alike.

Under the Plum Tree

Under the Plum Tree

By: Marjorie Giles

Earth is a place of education on physical experience. These teachings of Chung Fu offer guidelines for finding one 's own higher self.Under the Plum Tree originated from trance teachings by a Fourth Century BPE colleague of Chuang Tze at private homes internationally between 1974-1977. The sessions described the bases for present day tao disciplines such as tai chi, feng shui and martial arts. Students at the readings tended to be spiritually evolved and were experiencing their final earthly reincarnations.The spiritual self is the strongest essence within your world. Your higher self has had experience of everything upon your plane. In one way or another each of you experienced everything that you hear, touch, taste or smell before you could become your physical body. You have been sound, you have been brass and you have been tree or cat or dog. You have been buffalo or bird. Not in the immediate past one or two lifetimes but maybe 50,000 lifetimes ago. You have, within your higher self, the electro-magnetic communicating system of all living things and all energy in your plane.When you project a visual element with your higher self, it includes empathy with the birds, with the elements, with all things, because it has been all things. This is important. You are the grass. You are the tree. You are the air, the fire, the water and the earth. You, your body, is water. It is earth, it has minerals and chemicals within it.It is air, for it cannot live without breathing. It is fire, for it is warmth and without the sun it could not live.You are all things, but in the ignorance of your subconscious mind you let the water, the air, the fire and the earth rule your life. You let every situation with people, with plant and flower, organize and project your actions. You let the automobile tell you what to do, but it is an element, mineral, metal, not your higher self.Spiritual projections are not utopian ideas. They are practical tools for individual control of your life. He who projects forward and allows the spiritual self from the higher force to go into the world daily, weekly or monthly, or even to a meeting or business situation, controls his life. Only beauty will come forward, for the subconscious does not rule when a spiritual being is projected.Ah, to smell the color, to hear the plant, to feel sound, to taste music, to see sound. Each of the senses interrelates upon a scale. The ancient masters, those whom you know as myths, Odin or Isis, Vishnu or Zeus, were great masters who taught the inner way, not the outer. Your higher self holds all your answers, can solve all your problems, and can do for you whatever you wish.

The New England Gardener's Year

A Month-by-Month Guide for Maine, New Hampshire, Vermont. Massachusetts, Rhode Island, Connecticut, and Upstate New York

By: Reeser Manley,Marjorie Peronto

Gardeners will find advice and photos for adapting to any microclimate or situation including shade; wet soil; coastal landscapes; container, raised-bed, and extended-season gardening; and much more. Gardeners and landscapers will treasure this book for its elegant writing and full-color photography, its photo-essay tours of outstanding owner-maintained gardens throughout New England, its focus on organic methods and native plants, and its guidance on integrating gardens of every variety into their surrounding landscapes. Photo sequences of key techniques enhance the book, which is designed and indexed to provide instant access to the information a gardener needs at hand. In Reeser Manley and Marjorie Peronto's view, the plots of land on which we live are not our “yards” but our gardens—extensions of the surrounding natural world—and we, as gardeners, are caretakers of that world. They advocate gardening in tune with nature— avoiding pesticides, chemical fertilizers, and invasive plants, while creating a garden that enhances local biodiversity. The New England Gardener's Year will guide you to a garden of great beauty and bountiful harvests.

Teaching as a Lively Art

By: Marjorie Spock

The author, an experienced Waldorf teacher and eurythmist, radiates her enthusiasm and sense for beauty as she takes us through the various stages of development of the child. She shows us that "ripeness is all," that nothing can be taught to the child until it is ready to receive it or knowledge will sprout prematurely and wither early. This book will help us approach the child with sensitivity and insight.
