The heirloom garden designs are my favorite part of the book. There are 12 beautiful designs, each with a detailed diagram, plant key and design wisdom for each garden.

What is the book about?

The book is focused on heirloom gardening, which means growing with seeds that have been passed down from generation to generation. Each chapter also has a page dedicated to “Seed Talk” with stories and history behind saving seeds. The last half of the book is full of delicious recipes that you can make from the food that you have grown in your garden.
