Live somewhere that teases you with a 60-degree day, only to dump a foot of snow the next? Yep, welcome to New England. But just because your yard is currently a frozen wasteland doesn’t mean you can’t start manifesting your dream garden. This “New England Getting Started Garden Guide” is basically the survival manual for gardening in a region where Mother Nature is deeply unpredictable. Whether you’re working with raised beds, a backyard, or just a few pots on your porch (we see you, city gardeners), this book will help you choose the best flowers, shrubs, vines, and ground covers to make your garden thrive. Nearly 200 plant recommendations to help you figure out what’ll thrive despite late frosts, surprise heat waves, and that one squirrel who’s out to ruin your life. 🌱 Why You Need This: • For when you want flowers, but also live where winter lasts six months. • Tells you what actually grows here instead of setting you up for heartbreak (looking at you, tropical plants). • A solid way to pretend spring is coming while you sip coffee and stare out at your frozen garden beds. Until the ground thaws and the birds return from their Florida vacation, let’s at least pretend it’s planting season. 📍 Ships from snowy New Hampshire—but don’t worry, I’ll brush off the frost before I pack it.
