Native American Gardening: Stories, Projects and Recipes for Families is an immensely intelligent book. It brings a combination of sound ecology and Native North American storytelling together in a way that is contemporary and wise. Joseph Bruchac brings Native North American stories to life as a foundation for teaching healthy relationships with the environment. Michael Caduto draws on his many years as an educator and ecologist to provide background information on natural systems and "hands-on" activities for gardening projects. Because of the soundness of their approach, and their compatibility with the philosophy of gardening at Sol y Sombra, we are pleased to offer these excerpts. Most important, we hope you enjoy the joys and fruits of gardening as an intergenerational activity to share with family and friends!                  Sun and Shadow                                A Seasonal Publication of the Center for the                                            Study of Community and the Sol Y Sombra Foundation National Parenting Publications Award's 1998 Honors Award
