The central message of author Niki Jabbour's new book, Groundbreaking Food Gardens: 73 Plans that will change the way you grow your garden is that food can be grown anywhere when cultivated a little creative thinking.
Niki Jabbour is a smart, passionate Canadian gardener wrote about her innovative use of cold frames to extend the gardening season in her first book "The Year Round Vegetable Gardener".
As you can see from the cover of her first book, Niki has managed to find ways to harvest a range of vegetable crops even in the midst of a Canadian winter. Pretty impressive eh?
In her continuing search for inventive ways to grow food, Niki has collected 73 themed garden plans from a diverse and varied group of gardening experts.
Each of the book's plans includes a profile of the contributor, the concept behind their design, a beautiful illustration and...
a plant list.
This "Comfrey Tower" contributed by author and blogger Emma Cooper caught my interest.
Niki Jabbour and Storey Publishing have graciously given me one copy of "Groundbreaking Food Gardens" which I am going to give away in a draw to one lucky Hometalker*.
To help with the draw for a chance to win a copy of Niki Jabbour's new book: Groundbreaking Food Gardens: 73 Plans that will change the way you grow your garden I employed the talents of my proudest creation, my son Daniel.
And the winner is...Vicki. Congratulations Vicki!

Vicki on May 10, 2014Looks phenomenal! Great designs...and great ideas of layout! KUDOS! Now wondering, how it adapts to opposite climes..being in a place of heat, dust, little water, cold winds in the winter...and horrid soil! Unlike say, Vancouver!
