From the foremost authority in American gardening comes a must-have handbook for home gardeners who want a productive organic vegetable garden.

In their first new book in over two decades, the American Horticultural Society offers indispensable insight into growing a modern edible garden at home, regardless of whether home is in the desert Southwest, the Midwestern plains, or on the shores of New England. Starting with a unique look at the history of vegetable gardening in North America, from indigenous cultures to Victory Gardeners to today's biodiversity-nurturing growers, Essential Guide to Organic Vegetable Gardening then digs into everything you need to know to cultivate a successful and productive vegetable garden without synthetic pesticides or fertilizers.

Includes advice on:

  • Choosing the best design and planting style for your site, from raised beds and row gardens to matrix plantings and food forests
  • Deciding which varieties to plant, from heirlooms and ancestral selections to modern hybrids
  • Fostering resiliency in the face of weather extremes, invasive pests, and other challenges
  • Nurturing the garden as an ecosystem to preserve and protect soil life, pollinators, and other wildlife
  • Conducting at-home soil assessments for compaction, biological activity, texture, and drainage
  • Caring for the garden using natural techniques and products, including pinching, pruning, staking, fertilizing, and pest and disease control
