Description

Every part of a garden presents a unique environment for plants, influenced by sunlight, soil quality, moisture levels, and other factors. In this book, expert gardener and vegetable grower Lucy Chamberlain divides these environments into seven zones, ranging from sunny and sheltered to shady and dry, and even includes indoor growing spaces.

By following the “right crop, right place” approach, gardeners of all experience levels can successfully grow fruits and vegetables suited to their specific conditions, whether they have a large garden or a small space. The book features a wide range of plants, including vegetables, fruits, herbs, edible flowers, and container crops. Alongside popular choices such as chilis and figs, readers will discover unique options like honeyberry, wasabi, agretti, and amaranth.

With guidance on identifying and mapping garden zones, making the most of natural conditions, conserving water, using a greenhouse efficiently, and understanding soil health, this book provides the essential knowledge to cultivate thriving crops. Featuring photographs of plants, detailed diagrams of each zone, and a troubleshooting section for common gardening challenges, it is a comprehensive resource for growing food in any space.
