Joy in Your Garden: A Seasonal Guide to Gardening

Organized around the four seasons of the gardening year, this friendly guide walks beginners and returning gardeners through soil-building, lawns, vegetables, fruit, trees, shrubs, flowers, herbs, pruning, pest control, and composting. Written by longtime Utah radio gardener Joy Bossi and Master Gardener Karen Bastow, it's packed with practical tips, "Joyisms," Bonus Boxes, and "High on a Mountain" advice for short-season and high-altitude growers. Warm, witty, and encouraging, it insists everyone—even apartment dwellers with a single potted geranium—can find joy in their garden.

• From the voice of Utah's beloved radio gardener Joy Bossi—fifteen years of Saturday-morning gardening wisdom in one book
• Finally, gardening advice written for OUR climate: clay, rocks, alkaline soil, and brutally short seasons
• Season-by-season structure means you just open to right now and start digging
• Packed with humor, 'Joyisms,' and Bonus Boxes—gardening instruction that actually makes you laugh

Perfect for a beginning or returning home gardener along Utah's Wasatch Front (or similar arid, short-season, alkaline-soil climate) who wants practical, encouraging, season-by-season guidance.
