    Laureen Rama has produced one of the finest books I have seen on how to garden in ways that restore the health of the soil and invite nature back into the landscapes where we live. Well-organized, thorough, entertaining, and packed with pertinent information, delightful stories, vivid photos, and instructive illustrations, Eco-yards™ is an instruction manual on how to return to garden and to the sensuous earth itself, where we have always belonged. Laureen’s chapter on soil life alone makes this book worth owning. If you have a square foot of soil where you can grow things, read this book and you will find yourself tending it with new care and spirit.

    Eco-Yards proposes a partnership approach with the garden and inspires homeowners to build peaceful, practical yards. Rama is a hands-on gardener who explains – in great detail- everything from building soil to creating sustainable landscapes. Read about it here and then get out and practice what Rama preaches.
