In Your Garden

Starred Review
“This is a new standard work that should be part of all collections… . The information he provides is clear, rich, and more than sufficient to begin growing vegetables at home with success.”

…In Your Garden will help gardeners expand their skills (and their garden) to grow vegetables more effectively with less toil. If you’re ready to step up your game, grab this book—and a pencil.

Featured in The New York Times

In “A Methodic Way to Keep the Vegetables Coming,” gardening columnist Margaret Roach explores In Your Garden, Jean-Martin Fortier’s first book written specifically for home gardeners, and his methods for succession planting, permanent beds, crop spacing, soil health, and extending the harvest.

“In all of it, method is the operative word.”

Jean-Martin’s book is very well done and should be of great use to market growers everywhere. Exchange of ideas and information is so important because when we pass ideas on, the next person gets to start where we got to and take the ideas to another level.

Jean-Martin Fortier is a pro, who has shown countless market gardeners the way to success. In Your Garden gives home gardeners the information they need to make healthy, delicious food grow, just as he and his family do in their market garden. And the pictures in this warm and beautiful book make that path irresistible.

In Your Garden is an approachable, encouraging, and galvanizing guide to help gardeners new and pro design a space of any size while making way for imperfection.

In Your Garden is an essential tool for new gardeners interested in growing their own food. It is a complete guide that provides expert advice in simple to understand step-by-step instructions for everything from developing strong organic soil to harvesting the perfect crop
