John Seymour – Master of Self Suffiency
- Image via Wikipedia
All of the huge influences on my life in the garden have sadly passed away. My father and grandfather for sure helped me appreciate nature and the pleasure of gardening for the kitchen table.
After they had gone I searched for other help and influence similar to theirs. I found John Seymour, master of self sufficiency and a great advocate for everything organic and artisan.The Self-sufficiency Manual
John made the garden more than just a space for recreation. He created an enthusiasm in me to use every way I could to provide fruit and vegetables for my family.
John was lucky enough to have had small-holdings and lived a relatively self sufficient life with his family in Suffolk and then Wales for many years.
He developed a school in self sufficiency, sharing his vast knowledge with all that wished to follow his example. He was a master of self sufficiency and was always up to date in the subject – keen to promote it and passionate about his organic principles.
He has written many books with which he shared his passion and knowledge.
He was truly an amazing person, a great advocate for self sufficiency and he has created a great legacy of self sufficient gardeners, or those that do their bit in a small space to provide for their kitchen table.
Do your best to look into John’s life and see for yourself the satisfaction and joy their can be found from your home vegetable patch.
