Emily Murphy is the author of GROW NOW: How We Can Save Our Health, Communities, and Planet -- One Garden at a Time (Timber Press, Feb. 1, 2022) and the best-selling book, Grow What You Love (Firefly Books). Emily is also a producer, photographer, regenerative organic garden expert, and consultant for growing greener communities. She studied ethnobotany, environmental science, and garden design."Grow Now is an earth manual that applies to everyone everywhere. Regenerating life begins with our hands, the soil, and our heart. Plants and gardens are how we bring the earth back to life and bring ourselves back to life. Take this book and go outside, stay outside, and transform outside. You will not be the same person if you do, and you could not have a better, more thoughtful and informed mentor.” —Paul Hawken, author, Regeneration, Ending the Climate Crisis in One Generation. “People always ask me, ‘What can I do?’ Now I can answer, ‘Start by reading Grow Now.’ This beautiful, helpful, humane book is like one of those strangers you meet and instantly bond with. It’s your new best friend.”~ Carl Safina, ecologist and author of Becoming Wild; How Animal Cultures Raise Families, Create Beauty, and Achieve Peace"This is a book I’ve been waiting for. Emily Murphy shows us how restoring nature can begin in our own garden—how to rewild our own patch of land, sink carbon to build soil, and grow good, healthy food for our families. And when we restore nature to the home garden we learn some of what we need to know to save the home planet." — Yvon Chouinard, Environmentalist and Founder of Patagonia“We are surrounded by environmental crisis, and here is something that everybody can do. “Change starts at home”, regenerate your garden, improve your health - and it’s not difficult or time-consuming. Emily explains no dig and how to do it, how to make compost in a range of situations, and how to grow an amazingly huge range of food more easily. Let her help you to find this new normal.” — Charles Dowding, No dig gardener, writer, teacher
