If you’ve ever wanted to grow your own food — chemical-free, from seed to table — this is the book we wrote for you.
The Happy Healthy Living Guide to Organic Gardening is a comprehensive manual for anyone who wants to cultivate a thriving organic garden, whether you’re starting with a small raised bed or working with a larger plot. Ginger draws on her years of experience as a professional plant grower to walk you through everything from soil health to harvest.
The book covers the full journey of organic gardening:
More than just a how-to manual, the book encourages you to think of organic gardening as a way of life — one that connects you to your food, your environment, and your health.
At Happy Healthy Living, we believe that what you put into your body starts long before it reaches your plate. Ginger has spent years growing medicinal herbs, vegetables, and edible plants — and she wrote this book to share what she’s learned with people who want to take control of their own food supply.
Growing your own food is one of the most direct ways to support your health after 40. You know exactly what went into your soil, what touched your plants, and what ends up on your table.
The Happy Healthy Living Guide to Organic Gardening is available now on Amazon Kindle.
If the gardening book sparked your interest in growing herbs for health, Ginger also contributes to our Herbs series here on the blog — covering medicinal herbs like chamomile, lavender, echinacea, and California poppy, with notes on growing each one yourself.
We also recommend the Medicinal Seed Kit as a great starting point for growing your own medicinal herb garden. It’s what we use ourselves.
