The Edible Garden by Alys Fowler
A Guide to Creating Your Own EdenWhether you are a hardy homesteader or just getting started with a few herb pots on your windowsill, The Edible Garden offers food for thought on creating your very own haven that is as beautiful as it is delicious. Master gardener and BC personality Alys Fowler has devoted her life to teaching people how to grow their own floral food and edible landscaping. Here, Fowler shares her trademark wisdom and inventive tips to help your garden grow abundantly--from saving and sowing your own seeds, to mixing the world's best compost, to brewing your own herb teas and growing such a bounty of veggies that you will have to learn how to pickle and preserve them! Good for the pocket, good for the environment and hugely rewarding for the soul, The Edible Garden provides a taste of the good life to anyone willing to pick up a trowel.
Learn How To:
- Mix trees, edibles and flowers in the same plot
- Sustainably forage for wild food
- Plant the prettiest vegetables for container gardening
- Grow and brew comfrey for liquid love

- Make gifts from the garden: canned jams, chutneys and fruit liqueurs
