Want to have a little garden—grow a few herbs and vegetables, and maybe some fruit to get off the grid just a tad— but don’t know how to get started? Or worse, tried it already and it didn’t work out, so you gave up? Slow gardening to the rescue! The relaxed, all-senses, all-seasons approach to gardening was inspired by the slow food movement, which encourages us to savor locally and sustainably produced foods.
