Plants and Landscapes: A Goethean Approach to Biodynamic Preparations | Jochen Bockemühl, Kari Järvinen

How to understand medicinal plants? Do their properties have a connection with their environment? and how to understand the action of biodynamic plant preparations for agriculture and gardening? What relationship exists between these preparations, the landscape, and the farm? To answer these questions, the two authors, one a biologist and a specialist in the Goethean approach to nature, and the other, a market gardener and biodynamic trainer, propose to take a fresh look at plants in their natural environment. It involves learning to observe and think about living things in a new way to redirect one's work with nature, whether in agriculture, market gardening, the cultivation of medicinal plants, or landscape design. This broadening of the perspective on nature helps to understand biodynamic preparations and ultimately to connect with one's environment. This book will be of interest to gardeners, farmers, students, or plant enthusiasts who want to understand the relationships between plants, landscape, and agriculture.
