Description

Build a wholesome life focused on the seasonality of the food you grow with this chic and savvy guide to creating, tending, and sharing the goodness of a kitchen garden.

While kitchen gardening brings freshness and flavor to your dinner plate, it’s no longer just about growing food. Kitchen gardening is also a lifestyle choice. It’s a unique way to show the world your commitment to the health of your family and your planet, reduce your food miles, and take control of what you feed your family. A one-of-a-kind kitchen garden is also an opportunity to show off your personal style and create a peaceful escape from the busyness of today’s world.
