  In recent years, raised bed gardening has gained immense popularity among gardeners of all experience levels, offering a simple yet effective solution to maximize gardening space. Whether you have a sprawling backyard or a small urban patio, raised beds are an ideal way to grow more in less space. This gardening method takes traditional gardening techniques and amplifies their benefits, creating an accessible and highly productive growing environment. 
  Raised beds are essentially framed plots of soil that are raised above the surrounding ground level. This simple yet innovative design promotes better drainage, reduces soil compaction, and enhances root health, making it an excellent choice for growing a wide range of plants. The elevated nature of the beds allows for easier access, especially for individuals with limited mobility or those who prefer to garden without bending down constantly. Additionally, raised beds warm up faster in the spring and dry out more quickly, extending the growing season and allowing for earlier planting. 
  One of the primary advantages of raised bed gardening is the ability to control the soil quality. Traditional garden beds can be plagued by poor soil conditions, compacted earth, or heavy clay that inhibits root growth. With raised beds, gardeners have the opportunity to create the perfect soil mix, tailored to the needs of the plants they wish to grow. By selecting high-quality soil and incorporating organic amendments such as compost, gardeners can ensure that their crops receive optimal nutrition and thrive throughout the growing season. 
  Moreover, raised beds are a great way to promote efficient water usage. With a well-designed watering system, water can be directed straight to the roots, reducing water waste and keeping plants hydrated without over-saturating the soil.

  This memoir of buying and transforming an abandoned olive farm “describes life in the South of France with lush, voluptuous appreciation” (Publishers Weekly). Presented with an opportunity to purchase a ten-acre property near Cannes, actress Carol Drinkwater and her film-producer fiancé, Michel, decide to take the plunge. It will take all their savings just for the down payment, but the beauty of the surrounding countryside and the promise of a new adventure seem worth the risk. As they work to clear the weeds and rehabilitate the abandoned farm, they meet Provence’s quirky locals, puzzle through France’s legal bureaucracy, explore the nearby Mediterranean islands, and encounter the region’s wildlife. This colorful memoir from the Sunday Times–bestselling author recounts one couple’s remarkable journey from being inspired but inexperienced new landowners to realizing their dream of a fulfilling, peaceful life on their own little plot of paradise. “Good-humored and well-written.” —The Washington Post “A fantasy come true, as it will be for many of the readers who yearn to experience the magic of southern France.” —The Austin Chronicle
