Praise for ‘The Alternative Kitchen Garden: An A to Z’

“An indispensable compendium for a new generation of eco-conscious kitchen gardeners.” Elspeth Thompson, The Sunday Telegraph gardening columnist

“An ideal companion for anyone getting dirt under their fingernails for the first time.” Tracey Smith, writer / broadcaster on sustainable living, author of The Book of Rubbish Ideas

“Emma’s style is light and friendly yet at the same time informative and based on personal experience…. A dual purpose book – a concise and valuable practical guide, but at the same time a lovely little read for the deck chair or hammock!” Graham Burnett, permaculture teacher and author (read his Permaculture Magazine review here)

“Emma Cooper is an unstoppable force, one of life’s positive people, and The Alternative Kitchen Garden sets out her inspiring personal vision of how to grow your own.” Emma Townshend, Independent on Sunday gardening columnist

“Hallelujah – a kitchen garden handbook for the genuine newbie. Instead of dry facts and statistics, here you have a description of the life and soul of a garden.” Corrina Gordon-Barnes, award-winning writer of The World Needs Your Passion web site

“The Alternative Kitchen Garden is not just an A-Z, it is an inspirational tour of an edible garden that can be recreated in the smallest of backyards. An essential guide for a new generation of gardeners who are keen to join the kitchen garden revolution.” Karen Cannard, blogger and author of The Rubbish Diet

Permaculture Magazine articles

If you’d like to have a peek at Emma’s writing style, and some of the unusual edibles mentioned in the book, then have a look at her Permaculture Magazine articles, now available to download in full colour PDF files.

In the current PM issue (61) Emma introduces you to her garden and her gardening philosophy in My Kitchen Garden.

In issue 54 she introduced achocha, one of the Lost Crops of the Incas, in The Lady’s Slipper, the Fat Baby and the Exploding Cucumber.

And, in issue 53, ‘Roof Top Oasis Revisited‘ looks at the growth of the RISC Roof Garden, 5 years after it was created.
