| Description: |
How to turn a tiny urban yard into an incredibly bountiful garden by one of todays most charming and knowledgeable writers |
| Synopsis: |
"Inspires, sustains, surprises, and consoles."--"National Geographic Traveler (for "River Time) "The good stuff . . . Not only good history, but an engaging intellectual autobiography."--Sue Hubbell, "New York Times Book Review (for "Dangerous Birds) Janet Lembke loves to garden. But when she moved into her urban home in Virginia, she only had one-eighth of an acre to work with: a small front yard and a small backyard. How she traded a postage-stamp lawn for an edible cornucopia is what this enchanting book is all about. Lembke joyfully guides us on her gardening journey, in chapters called: "Tomato Haven" "The Grass Extermination Project" "Tools of the Trade" "How a Garden Grows" "Herbs" "Flowers" "Vegetables" "Outwitting the Gardener" "Wooing the Green Man, Courting Dame Kind" and "Garden Dreams" From Grass to Garden is chock-full of tips and advice for gardeners with tiny plots, including what plants are compatible with others; garden paths and seating; what vegetables and plants work best in front versus backyards; and more. She offers everything a hopeful gardener needs to reap bounty for the kitchen table from what was once a small, pesky lawn. |
