What to Expect
You may be wondering what you can expect to read and learn about in The Purposeful Gardener, and I am happy to report that there is tons of new information that I’ve never shared before! It takes you through the start-to-finish process of planning a garden, from dreaming to planting, and guides you to finding your gardening personality. There is also tons of information around techniques including raised bed & vertical gardening, DIY instructions, never-before-seen templates of my garden (made by my in-house designer!), how to double your harvests and so much more! This book also covers growing vegetables, fruits, herbs and flowers, so there is really something for every gardener! I dive into everything that I have learned in my garden, and share all of these details with you so that you can be more successful in your garden space too.
“The art of growing food thrives on equal parts knowledge and the motivation to keep going. Tasha has perfected both in her work and now in this beautiful book - offering a wealth of ideas and inspiration that makes gardening not only possible, but irresistible.”
— Christian Douglas, author of The Food Forward Garden.
