If you want to improve the versatility of your gardening, this book is for you. Raised beds make it easier to garden for many reasons: you can control the soil, the plants are easier to reach, you can grow quite a lot more plants and you can put the garden wherever you have at least six hours of sunlight. They are easy to build and they're great for large or small lots. Alan Jackson takes you through all the steps and all of the seasons of a Canadian year.
