How to Grow Your Own Food
Where Does Your Garden Grow?
IF YOU HAVE limited/no space for in-ground gardening but would still like to grow some of your own food plants, How to Grow Your Own Food: An Illustrated Beginner’s Guide to Container Gardening by Angela S. Judd (Adams Media, an imprint of Simon & Schuster, Inc., 2021) is the book for you. If you’re new to gardening read chapters 1 to 4, covering why you should grow your own food and the basics to get you started. If you’re already committed to gardening, jump to Chapter 5 where over 50 plants that can be grown in containers are described along with bright illustrations by Nicola DosSantos. Categorized as easy, medium or difficult, you’ll find the right match whether you already have a green thumb or are just getting started.
Known for her Growing in the Garden Instagram account and website, Judd has been a master gardener in Maricopa County since 2015. See growinginthegarden.com.
