Description
A beautiful, stylish and comprehensive handbook from the Bloom Gardeners Guides series, covering everything you need to know to grow edible plants.
Growing your own food is a way to feed your body as well as your soul. Approached in a sustainable way, it can also nurture the land and provide for wildlife. You don't need an enormous garden, an allotment or a fancy greenhouse to do it.
Edible Garden is as much about planting food in your garden borders and sowing crops in pots, as it is about raised beds or kitchen gardens. It's packed with professional advice, a selection of the best edible plants to grow and tips on getting the most from your space.
This title is from the Bloom Gardeners Guide series, complete and comprehensive gardening handbooks. Bloom is an award-winning independent print magazine for gardeners, plant admirers, nature lovers and outdoor adventurers, and winner of the Garden Publication of the Year at the Garden Media Awards 2021.
Other titles in this series include Cut Flowers, Shade and Pots.
