Home Harvest

Home Harvest: Your Kitchen Garden Guide is a practical, fun and easy-to-read deck of cards that will help you plant and grow your own kitchen garden.

Growing veggies sounds like a daunting task if you’ve never done it before, but it’s actually very simple. Including gardening 101 tips plus instructions for growing veggies, herbs and flowers, Home Harvest breaks down the basics of growing your own food.

The deck is divided into four sections: Gardening 101, Veggies, Herbs and Flowers. The gardening 101 cards help you start your garden from scratch, offer advice on keeping it healthy and abundant, and introduce you to the common garden enemies with tips on managing them. You will also learn how to entice all the friendly critters needed for a healthy ecosystem. Each veggie, herb and flower card has growing and planting information, plus handy cooking tips and fun facts.

In Home Harvest the farmers behind Kinsfolk Farm guide you through the process of planting, growing and eating veggies from your very own patch of soil – as simple as that! The card format is perfect for gardening because you can take one card out to the garden at a time instead of lugging a book around.

Each card is beautifully illustrated by the phenomenal Edith Rewa, making this a stunning gift for every gardener in your life.
