'''''Circle Gardening: Producing Food by Genesa Principles''''' is a 1978 book by the agricultural geneticist [[Derald George Langham]], published by Devin-Adair.

==Overview==

Langham argues that vegetables and flowers planted in circular beds gather more solar energy — and so grow better — than those planted in straight rows, and he presents this as an application of what he called '''Genesa principles''': a geometric philosophy relating living form to idealized shapes. The book describes the shaping and contouring of garden beds according to these ideas, illustrated with photographs and diagrams.

==About the author==

Derald George Langham (1913–1991) was an American agricultural geneticist known as the "father of sesame" in the Western Hemisphere for his pioneering research on sesame genetics. In the 1950s he founded the Genesa Foundation to promote his Genesa geometry and Circle Gardening techniques. ("Genesa" combines "gene" with "SA" for South America, where much of his agricultural work was done.)
