I started out with a little book about The Shaker Garden and this recent wave of organic raised bed gardens is something that the Shakers started many years ago. I am indebted to Frank Burkart of Burkart&#x27;s Nursery in Pasadena from whom I have purchased 8 years of plants and seeds. I have also purchased seeds from Seeds of Change and Heirloom Seeds. More recently I have also worked with Nysha from Ardinwoodsedibles who has helped with planting rotation and taught me how to plant a tomato so that it&#x27;s roots are long and lean!
