Grow more food, with more confidence -- right in your own backyard.
If you've ever dreamed of harvesting abundant, beautiful vegetables at home--but felt overwhelmed by where to start--In Your Garden shows you how to grow like a professional, using simple, proven methods adapted for everyday life.
From world-renowned market gardener Jean-Martin Fortier, this practical, full-color guide brings the power of biointensive, ecological farming into the home garden--helping you create a space that is productive, resilient, and deeply rewarding.
What You'll Gain

- Clear, step-by-step methods for growing vegetables from seed to harvest
- A deeper understanding of soil health, organic fertility, and plant care
- Practical systems that maximize yield--even in small spaces
- The skills to grow fresh, nutrient-dense food across the seasons
Rather than offering scattered tips, this book provides a complete, field-tested approach to growing food efficiently, naturally, and with intention.
Practical Methods for Real Home Gardens
Drawing from decades of experience on a world-class microfarm, Fortier translates professional techniques into accessible systems you can apply at home:
- Plan and design your garden for productivity and ease
- Build healthy, living soil using organic methods
- Select the right tools and streamline your workflow
- Grow, harvest, and store vegetables throughout the year

If you're looking for practical ways to grow more food with less guesswork, this guide offers clarity grounded in real-world success.

Rather than focusing only on inspiration, In Your Garden shows how small-scale, ecological growing systems can be adapted to backyard spaces--helping you achieve reliable harvests while working with nature.
Whether you are just starting out or refining your approach, the methods scale to your needs and experience.

A More Resilient Way to Grow
Growing your own food is not just about productivity--it's about connection, resilience, and the satisfaction of working with living systems.
