A practical guide to growing more in small spaces

Wendy Silveira’s guide brings container and raised-bed methods together for gardeners working with limited room. It covers building raised beds, starting seeds indoors and outdoors, selecting vegetables for containers, and using square-foot planting alongside three-season plans for spring, summer, and fall harvests. Fifty color-coded quick-reference guides extend the scope beyond vegetables and herbs to fruit and cut flowers. The book also follows the garden’s produce into the kitchen with recipes designed around homegrown ingredients. Its emphasis on step-by-step instruction and space-conscious planning makes the material concrete, from setting up a bed or container to organizing successive plantings.

Good fit for readers who enjoy

  • Beginning gardeners starting a first container or raised-bed plot
  • Gardeners with small yards, patios, or other limited growing space
