This is gardening at its most natural and organic.The Natural Gardener charts Johns story from a rudderless young lad in a Cornish village to being charged with the salvation of the long-neglected gardens at Tresillian. As he shares how to follow the simple principles of moon gardening, he imparts his abundance of horticultural knowledge from years spent working in harmony with the soil, providing a timely link back to nature and the reassuring regularity of the seasons. Author Biography John Harris has been a professional gardener since he started his working life in 1966 . He got his first spade when he was ten, his first allotment when he was eleven and his first job on a Cornish estate when he was fifteen. He was taught by the best in the business, Noel Masters, a head gardener for many of Cornwalls leading gardens. After his apprenticeship, John worked through various horticultural jobs including running commercial garden centres and advising on large public- works projects until twenty-five years ago, when he was offered a challenge he couldnt refuse - the restoration of Tresillian Estates famous Victorian kitchen garden that had fallen into deep neglect. He agreed, on condition that he could follow the ancient principles of moon gardening. Tresillian is now regarded as one of the UKs finest examples of a working estate kitchen garden John shares his wisdom regularly on TV and radio, including appearances on BBC2s Gardening Stories, Gardeners World and BBC Radio Devons Potting Shed. Numerous articles have been written by him and about him in the national press, including the Daily Telegraph, Vogue, Amateur Gardening and Country Life. Hes also the author of Moon Gardening (2002), a work widely regarded as the world authority on the subject. At seventy-four, John still works full time as head of gardening team at Tresillian, and lives on the estate with his wife Olive.
