I just wrapped up this book, and I absolutely loved it! It dives deep into the gardening world, starting from the basics like laying the groundwork and planning your garden. In one chapter, it talks about adding compost and checking your soil's pH levels. It covers all the essentials, like planting in the sun vs. shade, and watering since some plants need more water—especially if you're growing in pots. There’s also info on pest and disease management, small space gardening, how to grow sustainably, keeping your plants healthy, harvesting, storing, garden design, aesthetics, and even modern tech in gardening. Plus, it really emphasizes the joy of gardening! I’d totally recommend this book to anyone studying horticulture or just getting started with gardening; it's perfect for both!

Thank you to NetGalley and the publisher for an early copy in exchange for an honest review.

Review: My wife and I are laying out our first garden this year. This book is organized really well and user friendly. We will continue to refer to it for the growing season. I really appreciate the author for putting this together in a useable and teachable way. Looking forward to continuing to refer to this book!
