The Compact Garden by Marv Lopez

From the Canadian couple behind Planted in the Garden, a how-to guide for small-space vegetable gardening

Char and Marv are urban gardeners on a mission to prove that you don’t need a lot of land to produce a bountiful harvest of homegrown vegetables. Using the lessons learned in their small-but-mighty Toronto garden, they offer first-time gardeners practical and accessible guidance for starting a vegetable plot of their own. From soil composition to irrigation solutions, The Compact Garden provides step-by-step instructions for gardening success at every stage.

• Create a small-space garden: Learn how to set up raised beds, containers, and vertical gardens to maximise growing space both indoors and outdoors.
• Grow beginner-friendly veggies: Discover which crops are easy to grow and low maintenance, including tomatoes, cucumbers, lettuces, beans, peas, and more.
• Harvest organic produce at home: Manage pests and fertilise plants without the use of synthetic chemicals.

With plentiful photos, DIY projects, and helpful plant profiles for North American growers, you’ll be on your way to an abundant garden, no matter how big or how small.
