Florida's Front Yard Vegetable Gardens

Back yards are often busy places with dogs, children, and entertainment areas and as a result food gardens often are low on the priority list. Pets are allowed to run in enclosed back yards often at the detriment of vegetable and herb gardens. It’s amazing how little feet of children can destroy an herb garden in such a short time. However, while the back yard is busy with people and pets, the front yard is a bit more serene and tranquil-the perfect spot for a garden. The front yard, often underutilized in American gardens, suddenly becomes the location of choice for growing food. The use of color photos, as well as sidebars and step-by-step guides make this a book that will guide both the novice and experienced gardener in combining complimentary vegetables, herbs, and flowers in the creation of a visually appealing home front garden.
