Harvest

"Harvest achieves the nearly impossible balance of being aspirational yet totally achievable, tempting me with all the goodness that I can create from even the most common plants (including parts of them I never before thought to use). The projects are fresh and unfussy--from bath time to booze time, salads to salves. I plan on showering the people in my life with projects from Harvest; each is infused with love and uses my favorite medium--the garden."
--Johanna Silver, Garden Editor of Sunset magazine and author of The Bold Dry Garden

"Homestead Design Collective landscape designers Stefani Bittner and Alethea Harampolis combine work and play in their artful tome. The two transform the best of the harvest with ideas like quick-pickled rhubarb, and whimsical, French-style lilac-scented cream."

"Harvest is about enjoying ALL parts of our garden's plants. While both beauty and flavor are celebrated, the authors take DIY to even deeper levels. They share innovative projects that nourish our taste buds, nurture our skin, and even feed our soul. But they do this by using every plant part imaginable including roots, seeds and petals. Harvest is a must-have resource for anyone who wants to truly utilize every bit that their garden has to offer."
--Theresa Loe, Living Homegrown
