Growing Your Own Food in Hong Kong(電子書)

"Arthur's depth and breadth of knowledge on growing food plants are beyond compare, both theoretically and practically. His love of plants in general, and growing vegetables in particular, is clearly evident in the quality and variety of vegetables he grows in his own garden. He is also an excellent teacher, who gives clear and detailed explanations for everything he demonstrates, both in person and in his inspiring books. Arthur’s hard earned experience is an invaluable source of information and he constantly researches and experiments to enhance understanding of growing food plants. This second edition of Growing Your Own Food in Hong Kong expands on the rich content of his first book on the subject. Whether you are a novice, experienced gardener or armchair student, it is an invaluable source of wisdom used together with the first edition or as a new arrival in your reference library."──Vivien Wallis, Long time Hong Kong gardener, Past Vice Chair, The Hong Kong Gardening Society

「他在石屎森林中種植，可能是香港最早的「園藝游擊隊員」。他吃下每一種果蔬，都想它是怎麼種出來的；每種出一種果蔬，都賦予它作為人類食物應有的尊嚴。他對種子的好奇，是植物學的、哲學的、文學的，乃至宗教的，他珍惜原生種和多樣性，慎重對待科技對生命的操控。他着迷於自製堆肥，以此建立健康泥土生態，實踐有機種植，更不用說種植和進食果蔬與身心健康的知識⋯⋯四十年來，梁雅達醫生公餘埋首田畦，他的種植觀與世界潮流不謀而合。與其說他是以這本書來分享他的種植技術，倒不如說他以博物學家的知識和眼界，告訴讀者他為甚麼愛種菜；告訴香港人，都巿人為甚麼應該嘗試種自己的食物。」──張薇Cheung Mei，綠田園基金《稻草人》雜誌編輯
