The basic elements of any garden are always the same: seeds, soil,
sun, and water. It is in the search for that perfect combination
that leads the gardener into the broader aspects of each element.
The transitions made during the growing season tell many stories
about not only seed, soil, sun, and water, but also about one's
self. Each season brings its own discoveries, whether using new
methods to overcome old problems, celebrating an innovative
success, or dealing with the failures and setbacks that befall any
gardener. "Growing With The Seasons" gives many tools and plans for
the garden, but lets the reader assemble them as they want and
need, traveling the roads of personal discovery, reaching a
fruition that is productive, satisfying, and universal. This book
is also the evolving story of the authors' endeavors to provide
ideas, concepts, and encouragements for the practical application
of a personal and joined effort of beneficial direction to make the
world a better place bringing about a planned harmony within
ourselves and the people around us. Those who have attended the
Giannangelos' workshops, bought produce at the Ramah Farmers Market
in New Mexico, and met with the authors at community gatherings
inspired "Growing With The Seasons." Frank and Vicky Giannangelo
both lived in Denver, Colorado, when they were children. Vicky's
family moved to Washington State where she went to high school and
graduated from the University of Washington with a double major
degree in philosophy and economics. Frank's family moved to
Prescott, Arizona where he went to high school, and upon returning
from Viet Nam, graduated from Northern Arizona University with a
degree in literature. They met on San Juan Island, Washington, and
were married in 1986 where they first began creating organic
gardens. In 1993, they moved to Sedona, Arizona and spent three
years creating formal gardens for a local community. They moved to
New Mexico in 1997 and began gardening and helped start the Ramah
Farmer's Market. Vicky created and is the webmaster of their
website, www.avant-gardening.com. Frank teaches at a small school
on the Ramah Navajo Reservation. They give spring workshops on
organic gardening, basic rockwork, labyrinths, and strawbale wall
construction, and established the annual Ramah Area Garden Tour.
