Beginners Gardening

You can have a great garden if you focus on quality of space and not quantity of space. We visit a local landscape architect to get some ideas for using your space more efficently

Mallory Gwynn explains the benefits of planting strawberries as a landscape cover.

John from www.growingyourgreens.com goes on a field trip to the 2011 Chicago Flower and Garden show to find out if they are showing examples of urban gardening to show people what is possible in their front yard or backyard to grow their own food. John feels strongly that each person should grow a portion of the food they need to eat. Places like garden shows should show people what is truly possible in a small space. In addition, you will learn a few ways to grow vertically and John will visit a few vendor booths that offer products that allow you to grow more food at home.
