"Confessions of a Bicycle-Powered Landscaper is Ken Foster’s insightful, and deeply human journey into a life lived on two wheels and fueled by purpose. With wit and heart, Foster pedals through the trials and triumphs of running a landscaping business entirely by bicycle—hauling tools, and uncovering unexpected lessons about ecology, resilience, and doing work that actually matters. Part memoir, part manifesto, this book invites readers to rethink what’s possible when we slow down, lighten our footprint, and choose passion over convention. It’s a refreshing ride you won’t forget."- Penny Livingston, Permaculture Instructor with Ecoversity an online educational organization. www.ecoversity.org
"For decades, Ken Foster has been a pioneer in the world of environmentally responsible landscaping. His story is a fascinating one, and it’s good to see it finally told to a wider audience. Confessions of a Bicycle-Powered Landscaper is much more than a memoir, though. It offers detailed lessons for landscape professionals and property owners alike in the fine art of creating and managing the built landscape while keeping the health of the planet in mind every step of the way. Encyclopedic in scope, well illustrated, and engagingly written, it’s a welcome addition to the literature by one of the very best practitioners. Good job, Ken!"- Owen Dell, Sustainable Landscaping for Dummies
