Learn How to Build a Successful Backyard Garden that Your Friends, Family and Neighbors will Appreciate

When you walk into a garden that's in harmony with nature, you find yourself surrounded by healthy, well-chosen plants that fit the given space. These gardens are alive with bees, butterflies and birds.

You'll want to explore this garden and experience what it has to offer; the colors, the smells, the interesting way plants and paths blend, the hidden treasures that await your every turn.

As avid Southern California gardeners for over 40 years, Mary and Brian hope that this book will inspire you to try gardening if you're not a gardener and if you are a gardener you know that we are always learning and the garden and nature have much to teach us.

We promise you'll come away with some new ideas and a better understanding of growing and maintaining your backyard garden. Your friends, family and the neighborhood will appreciate your attempts and maybe even share in the vegetables, fruits and herbs you'll produce.

Here's a quick look at the topics covered in this book:

1. What is a backyard garden?
2. The right soil for your backyard garden.
3. Planting your backyard garden.
4. Irrigating your backyard garden.
5. Drought tolerant and native plants for your backyard garden.
