A gift for gardeners, foodies, and photo enthusiasts: ravishing contemporary daguerreotypes of a decade of garden harvests, celebrating the beauty of heirloom fruits and vegetables.
On two hundred acres in the Hudson Valley, Amy Goldman grows heirloom fruits and vegetables-an orchard full of apples, pears, and peaches; plots of squashes, melons, cabbages, peppers, tomatoes, eggplants, and beets. The president of the New York Botanical Garden has called her perhaps the world's premier vegetable gardener. It's her life's work, and she's focused not only on the pleasures of cultivating the land or feeding her family-she's also interested in preserving our agricultural heritage, and the beautiful and unique heirlooms that truly are organic treasures.
