In writing that's accessible, engaging, and elegant, she welcomes us to garden alongside her. Personal, thoughtful, and often humorous, this book offers practical DIY insights that will delight gardeners, cooks, and small-scale farmers.

Critic reviews

To me, Barbara Damrosch is the Julia Child of gardening. ...Barbara was one of the people who made “sustainable” “small-scale,” and “compost” household words. …She practically invented the edible gardening movement.
—Phillis Odessey, The New York Botanical Garden, Plant Talk
One of the most popular gardening personalities in the world.
—Dr. Richard Churchill, People, Places and Plants
Barbara Damrosch has saved from extinction the art of the personal essay. Not since Charles Lamb have we had such enjoyable reading. She makes kitchen gardening an imaginative experience.
—Daniel Hoffman, 22nd United States Poet Laureate.
The Queen of organic growing…a human search engine when it comes to questions about gardening and cooking.
—Heidi Julavits, The New York Times Style Magazine
