Field Guide to Urban Gardening

Kevin Espiritu shows city dwellers and small-space growers how to choose gardening methods that fit their available light, room, budget, and goals. The guide compares approaches for creating productive edible gardens without a large yard, then explains how to give plants the conditions they need to thrive. Readers can evaluate containers, raised beds, vertical systems, indoor growing, and other urban options rather than forcing one method into every setting. Practical advice helps turn balconies, patios, rooftops, and compact plots into useful growing spaces.
