Happy Friday, fellow permies:
Susan Poizner, the founder and host of the
Orchard People podcasts, Orchard People fruit tree care education website, and author of gobs of articles, books, and courses, is offering something special.
Her first book, Growing Urban Orchards, has recently been refreshed and she is offering the Kindle version FOR FREE until Monday, June 9 at 11:59 PM PDT!
This book won an award back in 2014, and it’s still just as relevant today.
In fact, it’s used by
The Giving Grove to help train community orchardists across the U.S.
For this relaunch, she's given it a beautiful new look to match her newer
books (Fruit Tree Pruning and Fruit Tree Grafting for Everyone). It now features a redesigned cover, a foreword from Ashley Williamson of
The Giving Grove, updated resources, and inspiring quotes throughout the chapters.
The book is a fun and inspiring read that shares the story of the
Ben Nobleman Park Community Orchard, one of the first community orchards established in Canada, and answers the big question:
What’s the minimum I need to do to keep fruit trees healthy and productive if I’m a busy person?” and offers lots of clear, practical advice for home growers.
Quoted from the book:
"Growing fruit trees is a quiet act of hope - a way of working with the earth to create beauty, nourishment, and a future worth sharing." -Susan Poizner
More than establishing a community orchard, which is an absolutely commendable, enormous, and rewarding feat in itself, there is an abundance of "life lessons" that readers may be inspired by, depending on where they are in their journey.
The only thing that she asks is to please leave an honest review for the book on Amazon (Amazon relies on early reviews to recommend books to more readers, so your support will make a real difference!)
If you know anyone who might want to join the launch team and get the free eBook, please do share, far and wide!
