Producing your own food is not only rewarding but - in times of economic and environmental change - it is increasingly becoming a must. This book makes growing food a possibility for everyone, even if you live in a flat, or simply don't know where to start in a garden. In down-to-earth and lively style Linda Gray provides all the information you need to keep your family and friends healthy, fit and enjoying life to the full. This book shows the many crops such as herbs which can be produced in a small space with little organizing - and how to use them to enhance the flavor of cooking, treating minor ailments, and preventing colds and flu. Packed with nutritional information and advice this book is ideal to keep in the family or classroom if you are teaching children to begin to grow their own food, prepare and cook what they've grown.

Get out of the supermarket and into the garden is my message in this book! There are so many of our everyday
needs we can produce from a small back garden or even containers on a patio or balcony. A huge garden or a
botanical degree isn't necessary as this book takes you step by step through the process - your garden or outside space can change your life for the better in every single aspect.

Linda Gray has many years' gardening and housekeeping experience. After reclaiming an acre of forgotten land, her priority was to feed her family from that. She and her children produced organic food and kept hens. Linda runs a gardening website and has written a number of books and articles focusing on health, good food and gardening including Grow Your Own Pharmacy.
