The Garden: Visionary Growers and Farmers of the Counterculture

<p>The Garden explores the transformative journey of the 1970s countercultural farmers and growers whose radical practices redefined how we grow and eat. Covering movements like the organic food revolution, Permaculture, back-to-the-land initiatives, radical ecology, and the impact of thinkers like Rudolph Steiner on 1970s communities, the book chronicles how the cultural age of psychedelics, Eastern philosophy, Oil Shocks, the war in Vietnam and the use of DDT sparked a generation’s interest in sustainable farming. Many in this generation pioneered alternative agriculture and influenced modern sustainable practices, inspiring today’s efforts to reconnect with nature and rethink sustainable living.</p>
