Awesome Book for Garden Newbies to Enthusiasts!

Having the knowledge to grow your own food is essential. Living in a downtown environment space is limited for a large garden and the idea of container victory gardens is genius! Starting off I love her "I wrote this book for you if...." section. I love the humor Maggie Stuckey brought to the book. Who laughs when reading a gardening book? With my love of history I appreciated the story of victory gardens and what they represent. The second chapter regarding the planning phase was explained well and empowered a reader with necessary knowledge they need to find the confidence to begin. Throughout the book a reader is guided with steps to plan, built, plant, maintain and harvest their own garden. The Container Victory Garden is filled with tips and tricks too, making gardening far easier. If you are considering a garden this year save yourself the hassle of trial and error. Pick up The Container Victory Garden for a successful planting season! I received a copy of this ebook for free from NetGalley and Harper in exchange for an honest review. All opinions are my own.
