About

Charles Schroder’s journey as a gardener began at the age of five, watching his mother garden. His gardening started as a child’s curiosity and grew into his lifelong passion. Despite maintaining a full-time job, Charles continued to garden, albeit with a simple approach lacking in planning and sustainability. Upon retiring, he immersed himself in gardening methodologies, conducting extensive research online, in magazines and books, and through interactions with experienced gardeners.

His learning curve was steep, punctuated by failures that ultimately yielded profound insights. Charles discovered innovative techniques to streamline efforts and enhance yields. Today, he estimates his gardening efficiency has increased by at least 50%, resulting in significantly greater yields. In his book, Charles intertwines his personal gardening journey with a broader narrative of its global significance. He explores how gardening benefits individuals and the planet, including its role in mitigating global warming and promoting health.
