Carleen Madigan

Carleen Madigan is a keen gardener and was previously managing editor at Horticulture magazine. She learned many of the skills described in the book while living on an organic farm, and was inspired to write the book by reading a classic series of booklets on self-sufficiency published more than two decades ago. Recognizing the real and current value of these traditional skills, she has tested them and adapted them for a new generation of productive gardeners.
