Master your first gardening experience—even with limited space—by following these nine easy steps!

Gardening has long been an extremely rewarding practice—giving you the power to grow fruits, vegetables, and herbs for your kitchen and your dinner table.

However, it can require a lot of time, patience, and, most importantly, space.

Space is a big issue, especially if you live in an urban area or don’t have access to sprawling, open ground.

And that’s where raised beds and containers come in! These compact mini-gardening methods allow you to plant and maintain a garden easily and are flexible enough to let you grow whatever you want.

Whether a small strip of land, a balcony, a patio, or a terrace, raised bed and container gardening allow you easy access to nature’s freshest bounty in miniature gardens—with the same quality and freshness of a large one.

In this guide, you will discover:

• A beginner-friendly, nine-step process to fast-track your way to raised bed and container gardening
• Prepare like a pro—everything that you need to know and do to grow a garden from scratch
• DIY designs—build your own raised beds and find out how to utilize empty containers
• How to create the perfect soil mix for your raised beds and containers
• Watering and irrigation—from hand watering to DIY drip systems, explore a host of watering methods for efficient and enriching hydration of your plants
• The fundamentals of garden maintenance and organic pest control
• Organic fertilization methods and recipes to aid in your plants’ growth
• And much more

Gardening is a long-term investment—it changes your lifestyle and allows you to live sustainably and naturally.

Discover how to start gardening no matter how much space you do or don’t have.

Just what I needed!

I am about to buy a new house with a garden space, and I cannot help but be excited to get started; hence I bought this book! I learned a lot from this one!

The author guides you step by step - from planning, constructing, and planting to maintaining your garden, which is simplified and very easy to follow.

I am mind-blown by how many vegetables you can grow in a container.

Valuable information !

She was right! Chapter 4 was game changer for me. Location. Location. Location.
That's exactly what I was missing in my knowledge to create my ideal garden. I so happy I read this book and now have exactly what I've always dreamed of. The information provided wad very valuable. I highly recommend this book and the narrators voice is very pleasant to the ears.

Container gardener here

Being a condo dweller, I have a container garden on my deck and this has helped me quite a bit from soil to watering to food. And of course, the general health of my plants which will benefit from this.

Great and practical audiobook on gardening!

Emma put together a great source of information packed with lots of details and practical examples. I was first attracted by raised bed gardening by the fact that you can grow different kinds of plants close to each other and this is something that Emma explains very well. Even though the gardening season is kind of over here, I am taking notes of all the steps I need to follow to have a beautiful balcony once the weather becomes better.

Loved it!

Just what I needed. Very easy listening, beautifully narrated. I learned a lot from this audiobook, highly recommended 😁
