Publisher Marketing:
You don't need a lot of land to create a beautiful, bountiful garden.

Char and Marv of Planted in the Garden are urban gardeners from Toronto who fell in love with growing food, not only for the fresh homegrown vegetables, but to show that small spaces can still produce big harvests. In their debut gardening book, you'll find instructions for:

  • Creating a small-space garden: Learn how to set up raised beds, containers, and vertical gardens to maximize growing space both indoors and outdoors.
  • Growing beginner-friendly veggies: Discover which crops are easy to grow and low maintenance, including tomatoes, cucumbers, lettuces, beans, peas, and more.
  • Planning out your growing year: Maximize your harvest by planting seeds at the optimal time for your garden's climate zone.
  • Harvesting organic produce at home: Manage pests and fertilize plants without the use of synthetic chemicals.
  • Adding flowers and herbs to your garden: Decide which varieties to plant based on what will flourish in your space and attract pollinators for your vegetables.

With step-by-step instructions, you will be able to plan, plant, and maintain an abundant garden that not only provides you with fresh, healthy produce, but also adds beauty to your outdoor space, no matter how big or how small. Happy gardening!
