The Vermont Gardener's Companion tells how to get the most out of Vermont’s short gardening season and details how readers can use organic methods to improve soil, deal with diseases and pests, and get better results with their plants in a state where “winter temperatures plunge far below zero and rocks left by the glaciers pop out of the ground each spring like bread from hyperactive toasters.” With good humor and a natural teacher’s gift for explanations, Henry Homeyer makes gardening fun and readily accessible to all.

Henry Homeyer is a landscape designer and University of New Hampshire Cooperative Extension Master Gardener with more than fifty years of experience in organic gardening.

Henry is a regular gardening commentator on Vermont Public and has a short weekly interview during Morning Edition on New Hampshire Public Radio.
