| The Best Gardening Books for Starting an Edible Garden  Whether they are the darlings of the local farmers market or just grow the juiciest tomatoes on the block, every successful gardener started somewhere. Some are probably lucky enough to have access to community-based gardening resources—a grandfather, an aunt, a neighbor who could act as a mentor and pass down knowledge acquired through years of experience. But for those who don't know anyone who can provide serious horticultural insights (or those looking to supplement this advice), books are the best resource.
In building a beginner guide to growing your own food, I talked to Ashlie Thomas, an organic gardener and educator; Nick Storrs, an instructor at the New York Botanical Gardens and owner of Homegrown Kitchen Gardens; and Lee Reich, an author and lecturer on organic gardening with a Ph.D. in horticulture. The three of them shared some of their favorite gardening and horticultural books—the ones they repeatedly recommend as resources for people interested in growing their own food. Some are technical reference guides; others are garden-focused cookbooks that can help you utilize all those home-grown greens in your kitchen. Find their recommendations below. —Wilder Davies More Tools We Love When you buy something through our retail links, we earn an affiliate commission.
