“Inspires, sustains, surprises, and consoles.”–National Geographic Traveler (for River Time) “The good stuff . . . Not only good history, but an engaging intellectual autobiography.”–Sue Hubbell, New York Times Book Review (for Dangerous Birds) Janet Lembke loves to garden. But when she moved into her urban home in Virginia, she only had one-eighth of an acre to work with: a small front yard and a small backyard. How she traded a postage-stamp lawn for an edible cornucopia is what this enchanting book is all about. Lembke joyfully guides us on her gardening journey, in chapters called: “Tomato Haven” “The Grass Extermination Project” “Tools of the Trade” “How a Garden Grows” “Herbs” “Flowers” “Vegetables” “Outwitting the Gardener” “Wooing the Green Man, Courting Dame Kind” and “Garden Dreams” From Grass to Garden 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 and plants work best in front versus backyards; and more. She offers everything a hopeful gardener needs to reap bounty for the kitchen table from what was once a small, pesky lawn.
