Excellent Gardening Guide For Small Space!
My mother in law just moved into assisted living and she was a gardener. This book came at the perfect time. It is packed with practical, easy-to-follow tips that make gardening fun and manageable even with limited space.
I appreciated the author's explanation of container selection, soil nutrition, and lighting in a simple yet effective way. The breakdown of different container types helped me make the right choice for her space.
I learned several natural ways to keep pests away without using harsh chemicals due to the section on pest control. The narration was also clear and engaging, making it easy to listen to the book.
Whether you're just starting out or looking for ways to improve your container gardening skills, this book is a fantastic resource. Highly recommend it!

Lets get growing
I love plants and this is my favorite time of year, but growing things at my house can get difficult so containers is a great alternative to the outdoors. The book is a step by step guide and includes some great info... like the difference in potting soil and garden soil... who knew? The lighting timps and container ideas were super helpful and there is info on how to keep different kinds of pests away from your plants. I already have a few plants and some beautiful flowers in pots and they are all thriving!

Learn to Garden like a Pro
As someone who’s always wanted to be a plant person but never really knew where to start, this book gave me the jump start I needed! I’ve dabbled in gardening before, but I always ended up overwatering, choosing the wrong spot, or just giving up when things got complicated. We have a big yard and a decent-sized deck, and the guidance shared in the book makes it easy to accommodate either. I loved the upcycling ideas (who knew old mugs could make such cute planters?); any way to reuse and recycle - that's my jam. I now think I have the confidence to actually start and stick with it. If you want a low-stress, high-reward way to boost your gardening game, check this audiobook out!

The step-by-step tips will help you figure out the best containers, how to keep your soil healthy, and even how to deal with those pesky bugs. It was surprising to learn how much a little lighting adjustment can help your plants thrive. The narrator’s voice is easy to listen to, and you will found yourself getting excited to get your hands dirty. The best part is you can have your small balcony filled with thriving greens and actually feel like you know what you are doing now. Highly recommend for anyone who wants to start but feels overwhelmed!
