Product Description 
Discover how to work with nature, instead of against it, by employing permaculture techniques to create a garden that is not just more beautiful and productive, but also more resilient. While the word permaculture might sound intimidating, the principals behind it are not. The main goal of permaculture is to turn your space into a functioning ecosystem that’s less reliant on external resources and better able to sustain itself through many seasons of growth and change as it resists pests, diseases, and climate extremes. Whatever the size of your space, from a tiny patio garden to a big backyard, and whether you grow food, flowers, shrubs, trees, or a combination of all, The Regenerative Garden is here to help you become a better, more eco-conscious gardener. Through 80 DIY projects, author Stephanie Rose of the popular website Garden Therapy introduces you to basic backyard permaculture concepts in an easy-to-follow, logical way. Each of the six chapters represents a living element of the garden, capable of playing a valuable role in its constant regeneration, including soil, water, plants, climate, ethics, and community. As you check these projects off your to-do list, you’ll find you’ve reduced your long-term work load, conserved water and other resources, turned your yard into a habitat for wildlife, and learned to grow perennial foods in creative ways. The 80 featured projects include step-by-step instructions on how to:\nEmploy intensive planting to reduce weeding and watering chores 
Use living mulches to amend the soil 
Build self-watering planters and wicking beds to reduce water use 
Install a rain garden to catch runoff 
Plant a wildlife hedge to support creatures and create a windbreak and noise buffer 
Compost projects and systems to repurpose waste on-site 
Make a butterfly migration station to support pollinators of all sorts 
 A healthy, organic, regenerative garden is a perfect example of a 
self-sustaining ecosystem; everything works in tandem, is intricately connected, and comes full circle to create its own never-ending cycle of life. 
 Review 
“ 
The Regenerative Garden provides an inspiring blueprint (or greenprint!) for helping gardeners map out realistic steps to take in their own garden. The ‘good, better, and even better’ scale provides actionable ways to make a difference immediately—and long-term objectives to strive for over time. I can’t wait to introduce some of these projects into my garden as I work on my own regenerative space.”― 
Tara Nolan, best-selling author of Raised Bed Revolution and Gardening Your Front Yard, and co-owner\n“Stephanie takes a thoughtful and practical approach to presenting the concepts and principles behind regenerative gardening in a down to earth and easy to understand manner. This makes the DIY projects and methods accessible to all gardeners. She encourages you to progress, improve, and learn but not worry about being perfect in your garden. A mindset I share deeply. She takes you from soil, to sharing your gardening with your surrounding community, and all the steps in between. I’ll be adding some of her DIY projects to my gardens. The beauty of this book is that you’ll create a garden that, with time, becomes better at taking care of itself.”―

Speculative poetry travels winding roads leading to wondrous worlds, regions never traversed by mainstream verse. Fantastic poems range in the material they treat from the strange but explainable to the utterly fanciful, from horror to wonder, and from the rigidly verisimilitudinous to the purely surrealist. They may utilize traditional prosody or may avail themselves of the discontinuities and fragmentation of modernist free verse. They may use as setting the primary world, a secondary world, or a combination of the two. With roots planted firmly in the mythic and folkloric epics and ballads of yore, and branches reaching high into the endless skies of modern fantasy, science fiction, and horror, speculative poetry is a historic and vital poetic genre, the source of the most thoughtful, imaginative verse being written today. Red Sky features over 100 years' worth of speculative poetry from yesterday's masters, modern award winners, and emerging stars. Filled with luminous ideas, otherworldly adventures, metaphysical encounters and startling futuristic speculations, these poems will appeal to all readers as they chart the emergence and evolution of speculative poetry. "Enkindling dawns of memory, Each sun had radiance to relume A sealed, disused, and darkened room Within the soul's immensity. Their alien ciphers shown and lit, I understood what each had writ Upon my spirit's scroll; Again I wore mine ancient lives, And knew the freedom and the gyves That formed and marked my soul."
