Grow Your Own Mini Fruit Garden

”…you’ll be almost overwhelmed with tips and techniques for creating what can only be described as a wonderland dreamscape, but with Wilhelmi’s immersive knowledge, could actually be rendered into reality. The book is a one-stop shop—vertical gardening, arbor making, espalier building, tree grafting, soil prep, compost building, drainage designing, container gardening, pruning strategies, drip irrigation building, disease resistance techniques, pest control, feeding and fertilization, and finally harvesting.” – Beth Py-Lieberman * Washington Gardener Magazine *“Many green thumbs for this book…it’s a great read. Highly recommended.” – Andrew Messinger * The Hampton Gardener/27East.com *
