"Chaos gardening is a beginner-friendly, carefree, no-stress method to growing food and flowers that throws tradition out the window. This accessible introduction to the subject lays out the fundamentals of this extremely simple process, inspiring all levels of gardeners to embrace chaos and learn to love gardening in a whole new way. A growing trend and natural style of gardening, chaos gardening combines a highly user-friendly, environmentally conscious approach, resulting in a style that echoes a wild landscape. Perfect for the rule breaker, rebel, or intuitive thinker who wants to do things their own way, chaos gardening asks us to let go completely of ideas of the garden, reject tradition, celebrate wildness, and allow nature to do the work. But even for the seasoned gardener, it is only by removing ideas of perfectionism and our expectations of what a garden should be when we can embrace the chaos of what could be. We must liberate ourselves to garden outside of rules and norms. All we have to do is prepare the ground, choose the right seeds (self-seeding plants are our friends!), mix them all together, scatter them on the soil, water, and wait. Who cares if the carrots pop up among the roses? Theyll still be carrots"-- Provided by publisher.
