For thousands of years, farmers and gardeners have observed the Moon as part of the rhythms that shaped sowing, planting and harvesting.
Gardening with the Moon Around the World explores this relationship across cultures and continents, from ancient Egyptian agriculture to Māori Maramataka calendars, North American almanacs and biodynamic traditions.
The book brings together traditional practices, cultural perspectives and different approaches to lunar agriculture, exploring the many ways communities have connected farming with the sky, seasons and the passage of time.
Inside, you will discover:
- Lunar gardening traditions from different regions of the world
- The cultural meanings associated with lunar cycles and agriculture
- Examples of traditional planting and harvesting calendars
- Practical ways to observe lunar cycles in your own garden
- A year-long lunar planner for recording sowing, watering and harvesting
More than a gardening manual, this book is an invitation to rediscover agricultural knowledge shaped by generations of observation and to explore another relationship with time, seasons and the living world.
For gardeners, growers, nature lovers and anyone curious about traditional ecological knowledge and the relationship between agriculture and the Moon.
