A tale of courage and imagination that will inspire readers to grow their own productive paradise and live their dreams
This is the story of a gardener’s transformation of a tired paddock to food abundance in just over four years, with little money and a lot of resourcefulness and clever ideas. Author Liz Zorab also relates how she simultaneously transformed her life, overcoming the effects of chronic illness to develop a self-sufficient, independent lifestyle. This has taken Liz and her husband away from the rat race, giving them greater freedom and a more abundant life.
Grounded is an inspiring blend of practical tips and ideas with personal narrative, and will show you how to:
- Become more resilient
- Be creative with resources
- Make the most of the space you have
- Achieve more without exhausting yourself
- Fill your garden without emptying your pocket
- Enjoy the process as much as the results
About Liz Zorab
Liz Zorab is the author of the bestseller Grounded: A Gardener's Journey to Abundance and Self-Sufficiency. She spent more than 20 years working with specialist housing charities and in community development, with an emphasis on innovative volunteering practices. An award-winning gardener, she gained an RHS Silver Medal for a community-led garden featured on BBC's 'Gardeners World Live' in 2002. A health crisis led Liz to turn to her life-long passion for gardening and growing food as a career. Liz spent several years transforming her 0.8-acre plot in Monmouthshire into an abundant smallholding. She is now regenerating a tired, over-grazed 4.5-acre site using permaculture practices. On less than an acre, she grows most of the food and drink her family enjoys each year, giving them food security, resilience and increased self-reliance. She enjoys spending time with Mr J (her husband) and her family, watching rugby and creative handicrafts, and has a distinct dislike of housework. Liz regularly writes for Permaculture Magazine, teaches gardening and self-sufficiency skills and encourages thousands of people to take up their trowels and live their dreams through a vibrant YouTube Channel, Liz Zorab – Byther Farm.
