But Little Farm in the Garden also works as a stand-alone manual for simple ways to approach creating your own food supply, focusing on easy-to-grow vegetables, herbs, and fruit, and building a balanced garden for the long-term.
In these uncertain times, producing your own food supply can give you confidence in the future—and as all gardening fans know, a sense of pleasure and accomplishment. Wherever you are in your gardening journey, Little Farm in the Garden offers a lively, heartfelt approach for gardeners, nature-lovers, and dreamers of all ages!

Susan's latest release is her heartwarming novel, set in the Irish countryside: The Fairy Cottage of Ballydara!
