Promoting a holistic ecological view, Tammi Hartung encourages you to invite wildlife into your garden. You’ll be amazed at how a variety of natural pollinators, pest predators, and soil enrichers can promote vibrant and healthy vegetables. Discover how a slug problem disappears once you’ve introduced a pond housing bullfrogs, how wasps can take care of tomato hornworms, and why skunks aren’t so bad after all. Learn how to garden with animals, rather than against them, and reap your most bountiful harvest yet.

Tammi Hartung is an ethnobotanical herbalist and organic farmer with more than 40 years of experience working with plants. She and her husband, Chris, own Desert Canyon Farm, a certified organic farm since 1996 in southern Colorado, where they grow more than 1800 varieties of plants. They grow all types of herbs, heritage and heirloom food plants, native and wildlife habitat plants, edible flowers and more. In their flower seed production field, they grow over 60 varieties of perennials for a German seed company called Jelitto Perennial Seed Co, so seeds from Tammi's farm end up being grown by gardeners and growers all over the world! Tammi is an international speaker and the author of Homegrown Herbs, The Wildlife-Friendly Vegetable Gardener and Cattail Moonshine & Milkweed Medicine. She blogs at desertcanyonfarm.wordpress.com Tammi is passionate about plants and their relationship with people past, present and future. If a plant has been used by people or animals, Tammi is interested to understand that relationship. In addition, she is an avid hiker, a stitcher of colored threads, loves to write, and enjoys life on her small farm with her husband, 3 very helpful cats, Shrek the farm dog, 2 sassy ducks named Gretel and Hannah and loads of wildlife.
