An Orkney Gardener

Prepare to be challenged and provoked by An Orkney Gardener, a thought-provoking and unapologetic exploration of the critical state of modern agriculture and soil health. Written by Vernon Bradley, a seasoned gardener with a successful business in the Orkney Islands, this book dares to question the status quo of monoculture farming and its devastating effects on our environment and food supply.

Bradley, unburdened by academic credentials but rich in hands-on experience, offers a candid and passionate critique that is sure to stir controversy and ignite vital conversations. From the fields to the dinner tables, classrooms, and even the halls of government, An Orkney Gardener calls for a collective reevaluation of how we cultivate our land and nourish our people.

In a time when monoculture has proven to be a failing experiment, Bradley's insights are both timely and necessary. He argues that farmers, the penultimate victims of this flawed system, are not alone; we are all paying the price as the final casualties. Through this book, Bradley seeks to agitate, inspire, and encourage readers to engage in the painful yet essential dialogues needed to recover our soils and secure a sustainable future for generations to come.

An Orkney Gardener is not just a book; it’s a call to action. Whether you agree with Bradley or not, his words will compel you to think deeply about the future of our food and the health of our planet.
