An accessible introduction to the rule-breaking, low-work, no-stress, natural gardening method where chaos is queen.
Chaos gardening is a carefree, no-stress method to growing food and flowers that throws tradition out the window. A user-friendly, environmentally conscious approach, this method of gardening results in a style that echoes a wild landscape and is perfect for the rule breaker, rebel, or intuitive thinker who wants to do things their own way. Grow a Chaos Garden is an accessible introduction to the subject, inspiring beginners to let go completely of ideas of the garden, reject tradition, celebrate wildness, allow nature to do the work.
Longtime gardener Teresa Woodard lays out the fundamentals of an extremely simple process, inspiring all levels of gardeners to embrace chaos and learn to love gardening in a whole new way. It is only by removing ideas of perfectionism and our expectations of what a garden shouldbe when we can embrace the chaos of what could be.
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? They'll still be carrots.
