    Organic gardening not only provides fresh, healthy food for you to eat, but it can also bring balance, health, joy, and healing. It is crucial for both our health and the survival of our planet.

    Author Marleny Franco’s Garden the Organic Way presents an engaging, practical guide to understanding why we should garden organically as well as every detail on how to garden successfully. It offers a straightforward approach to becoming a top-notch organic gardener. You’ll learn how soil is the key to organic gardening and how to care for it, as well as techniques to help you plan and prepare a garden from each season’s beginning to end.

    Marleny Franco

    Marleny Franco’s passion for growing fresh and healthy foods were first ignited visiting her uncle’s farm in the temperate mountains of Colombia as a child. Today, she holds a master’s degree as a horticulturist and has served as a county agent in leading a highly successful urban gardening program. Her connection to nature, and love of teaching to garden in the urban setting, pushed her to found and executively direct a horticultural and environmental not-for-profit conservancy for 15 years. Her award-winning educational programs reached over 200,000 urban residents and transformed the landscape (literally) of urban areas throughout the state. She went on to start her own landscaping business, where she helped clients work with native species to bring their land to life, and to create a self-sustaining biome that brings joy to others.
