Gardening for Everyone<\/i> is a sustainable guide to growing vegetables in five simple steps: planning, building, planting, tending and harvesting.<\/p>\n
With the same wisdom and stunning aesthetic as Simply Living Well<\/i>, Julia’s beautiful new book is a guide to creating and growing a garden simply and sustainably with profiles of essential vegetables and herbs, ecological tips, and fun and creative projects.<\/p>\n
Growing food in your backyard (or even on a porch or windowsill!) is one of the simplest and most rewarding ways to nourish yourself, be self-sufficient and connect with nature in a hands-on way. Here sustainability expert Julia Watkins shares everything you need to know to grow your own vegetables, fruits and herbs, as well as wildflowers and other beneficial companion plants.<\/p>\n
The book covers all the nuts and bolts of creating and caring for your garden – planning, building, planting, tending and harvesting – followed by a deeper dive into the plants themselves: demystifying annuals vs. perennials, cold-weather vs. warm-weather veggies, and profiles of favorite crops. Throughout, Julia offers tips for creating an eco-friendly and sustainable garden (such as vermicomposting, no-till ‘lasagna’ gardening, and attracting pollinators), plus some fun and unexpected hands-on projects like how to build a bean teepee, make wildflower seed paper, and enjoy refreshing herbal lemonade ice pops.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
