Book Description

Jere Gettle found his life work early: He was just three when planted his first garden. In 1998, he followed that dream and started the Baker Creek Heirloom Seed Company. Now, 13 years and millions of seed packets later, this small project offers 1,400 varieties of vegetables, flowers, and herbs, the largest selection of heirloom varieties in the country. Jere and his wife Emilee also publish the Heirloom Gardener magazine, now in its seventh year of operation. These Johnny Appleseeds continue to be faithful to their calling: The Heirloom Life Gardener offers even novice backyard growers the information that they need to turn any backyard plot into a food source for your family. An A-to-Z growing guide with proven results.
