AN UNLIKELY VINEYARD: THE EDUCATION OF A FARMER AND HER QUEST FOR TERROIR
Book ID/图书代码： 03008014B76277
English Summary/英文概要： Challenged by cold winters, wet summers, and other factors, Deirdre Heekin and her husband set about to grow not only a vineyard, but an orchard of heirloom apples, pears, and plums, as well as gardens filled with vegetables, herbs, roses, and wildflowers destined for their own table and for the kitchen of their small restaurant. They wanted to create, or rediscover, a sense of place, and to grow food naturally using the philosophy and techniques of organics, permaculture, and biodynamic farming. Having travelled and lived in France and Italy, and finding so much respect for place-based traditions, they were sure it would be possible to recreate that lifestyle, and to explore the notion that life can be lived in both work and play, in a way that offers an honest sustenance. An Unlikely Vineyard tells the story of their farm and its evolution, from overgrown fields to a fertile, productive, and beautiful landscape that melds with its natural environment. But the book is much more than that. It also presents, through the example of their farming journey and winegrowing endeavours, an impressive amount of information on how to think about almost every aspect of gardening: from composting to trellising; from cider and perry making to old garden roses; from pruning (or not) to dealing naturally with pests and diseases.
Chinese Summary/中文概要： 黛尔德•希金和她的丈夫不畏严寒气候、潮湿夏季及其他因素的影响，他们毅然开始了葡萄园的种植，然而这不仅仅是一篇葡萄园，同时也是一块祖传果园，种有苹果、梨、李子，以及充满了蔬菜、草药、玫瑰及装饰他们小餐馆的餐桌与厨房桌面野花的神奇花园。他们希望希望能够创造出，或是重新发现一种归属感，在那里他们可以使用有机、永久培养、生物农业的种植理念与技术，自然地种植食物。他们曾游居法国与意大利，他们极为推崇土生土长的传统，因此他们坚信以一种真实的，可持续发展的方式重塑这样的一种生活方式、探索工作于娱乐两不误的生活理念其实是可行的。《神奇葡萄园》讲述了他们的农场及其进化的故事，从过度种植的土地到变得肥沃、多产，到拥有美丽如画的风景并与自然环境融为一体。然而本书传达的远非如此，本书还借由许多实例为我们介绍了两人经营农场的欢乐以及种植葡萄园时的辛勤劳作、大量令人印象深刻的关于如何认知园艺种植的信息：从堆肥到搭架；从苹果酒和梨酒的制作到古老玫瑰品种的培植；从修剪花园到应对自然虫害及疾病等。（DC）
