Greetings from Herald, CA. Located just South East of Sacramento by 20 miles. Millions of grape vines cover the Herald landscape and vegetables grow well here with a good compost pile to nourish our Green Garden....

Back yard garden

simple

After years of being on the waiting list, on 4 June 2011 I finally got a garden allotment (known as volkstuin in Dutch). It's just a 15-minute bike ride from home, at the back of an old Dutch dike - and has a little...

Ornamental, beds and borders where evergreen conifers and deciduous shrubs mingle with perennials, bulbs, and a few favorite annuals. Some Iowa prairie plants such as side-oats grama grass. A still-water, self-maintaining...

In the early spring the daffodils and tulips start to poke out of the ground...the 2 lilac bushes begin their blooms soon after. During mid-May, I begin to add veggie, herb, and annual plantings. Also, my parents bring...

My garden is my art, literally. I grow plants so I can photograph them in new and interesting ways. There is such a variety of plants in the San Francisco Bay Area and I pluck not only from my yard, but along the trail...

Each year I grow at least 15 new varieties while hanging on to tried and true cultivars I cannot live without. This garden story will focus on new additions, most notably heirlooms.

1/3 acre of perennials and annuals....dry climate in summer

I started this garden several yeas ago in a neglected alley in North-West Baltimore.  I had to sift the soil due to the broken glass, trash and hypodermic needles.  I've resorted to tub gardening due to the rat population....

We just moved to this house in late May. Nothing has been done with the yard in years, so I'm basically starting from scratch. I want to keep the fence, but need to raise the ground level inside it, so I'm adding horizontal...

We're trying to grow as much of our own food as we can. It's year 1 on this property. After an almost rainless winter, our small continuous harvest feels gratifying. But it's only the tip of the iceberg.

I grow food to feed my family and teach my kids. We preserve as much as we are able for the winter months when average grocery store veggies taste like card board.

We started this garden in 2010 and could not believe the harvest!!!  We expanded in 2011 and now we are exhausted because the harvest was so much more.  We are completely organic and feel that this is so helpful for...
