Janet Lembke loves to garden. But when she moved into her urban home in Virginia, she only had an eighth of an acre to work with: a small front yard and a small back yard. How she traded a postage-stamp lawn for an edible and visual cornucopia is what this enchanting book is all about. Lembke joyfully guides us on her gardening journey. From Grass to Gardens is chock-full of tips and advice for gardeners with tiny plots, including what plants are compatible with others; garden paths and seating; what vegetables, flowers, and plants work best in front versus back yards; and more. She offers everything a hopeful gardener needs to reap bounty for the kitchen table from what was once a small, pesky lawn. What's more, she brings her vast literary mindscape to her own landscape and shares her thoughts and observations, both brilliant and commonsensical, with her lucky readers.Lembke, Janet is the author of 'From Grass To Garden How To Reap Bounty From A Small Yard', published 2006 under ISBN 9781592287468 and ISBN 1592287468.
