Since the planet's creation, humans and the environment have been ruled by the waxing and waning of the moon. Different civilizations have embraced these natural cycles throughout the centuries, resulting in the practice of lunar gardening. This ancient method, once practiced by the Incas and Native Americans, has largely been forgotten.

John Harris, the head gardener at Tresillian Estate in Cornwall, has been practicing Moon Gardening for over forty years. His methods can be applied anywhere, without the need for fancy tools, expensive seeds, or large acreage. With time, patience, and care, the results can be breathtaking. This is gardening at its most natural and organic.

The Natural Gardener follows John's journey from a young lad in a Cornish village to being entrusted with the restoration of the long-neglected gardens at Tresillian. As he shares these simple principles, he imparts his wealth of horticultural knowledge gained through years of working in harmony with the soil, offering a timely connection back to nature and the reassuring regularity of the seasons.
