Available for shipping within the usa only. Shipping has been running about $8 per dozen, and $20 for a full case.

Other Versions and Distributors

The frugal-student edition in black and white, is an inexpensive edition that people can distribute when teaching classes about seed saving or gardening.

Lulu is my preferred online distributor. The materials and workmanship are superior, and the books are well protected during shipping. Their hardcover editions feel particularly good in the hand. They pay me higher revenues, which allows me to pass on the savings.

Internationally, Amazon may offer better shipping options to some countries.

Print and digital versions are available on IngramSpark's international network which includes Barnes & Noble, Baker & Taylor, and 39,000 other libraries and bookstores. Ask your local library or bookstore if they can order a copy for you.

Warm Regards,
Joseph

Landrace gardening teaches that plants are stronger, tastier, and more reliable if impure parents are cross-pollinating and undergoing survival of the fittest selection. An heirloom is a variety that was developed long ago, on a far away farm, and has undergone 50 years of inbreeding. Landraces are locally-adapted to current conditions, and have enough genetic diversity to change with the ecosystem. Get Tickets

Landrace Gardening: Finding Peace with Genetic Diversity

Explore the tension between curating heirloom varieties and offering locally adapting modern landraces. Learn some of the benefits and techniques of expanding the genetic diversity of varieties you share in your community. A landrace is a food crop with lots of genetic diversity which contributes to its ability to survive new pests, diseases, or changes in cultural practices or in the environment. Get Tickets

William DeMille, our guest speaker, educates about soil health. I hope that he'll contribute some thoughts about how weeds fit into that philosophy. I had a lovely time exploring William's walipini this week. The get together is free to members of the forum or video course. Going To Seed
