        Focusing on doing what one can with the space and time they have, Van Tassel's (founder, the Kitchen Garden Society; host of the podcast The Garden Culture) book brings readers along on the joyful journey of planning, planting, and cultivating a kitchen garden. Examples range from a simple one-pot garden to a sprawling selection of raised beds. Her book encourages readers to grow fresh garden herbs, flowers, and vegetables and includes activities that a child can assist with to make gardening a family activity. The book is chock-full of helpful tips and guidance for new gardeners--there are refreshers for seasoned enthusiasts as well--about mapping one's space, starting seeds, saving, learning about irrigation options, exploring soil quality, rotating crops, and engaging in companion and succession planting techniques. VERDICT This gardening resource provides excellent information for hobby gardeners of all levels. It will be a popular selection in a variety of communities and collections.--Elizabeth Majka
