SELF-SUFFICIENT (OR ALMOST)

A nourishing garden in one year! Guylaine Goulfier offers a method for transforming your vegetable (and beautiful!) garden. Each season opens with a plan of a typical garden that visually summarizes the work to be done and presents a precise planting program to obtain a wide variety of vegetables, fruits, herbs and edible flowers. We create a vegetable garden, we use all the spaces in the garden (beds, fences, walls, terrace), we take advantage of the surrounding nature (wild pickings). An ultra-practical and illustrated book teeming with ideas, tips and practical advice, ideal for beginners.
