The Cannabis Gardener teaches you how to choose which strains are right for you and how to cultivate the plants from seed to finished flower. Gorgeous full-color photographs capture each stage of the growing process and show how cannabis plants can be incorporated into your garden design as well as raised beds and containers. After you establish your plants in the garden and monitor them through the flowering stage, you’ll find tips on how to harvest, dry, cure, and store your “grow.” Also included are recipes for savoring your harvest, from salves, tisanes, and tinctures to cannabutter for baking and cooking delicious treats such as CBD gummies flavored with vanilla beans, cheddar crackers, and even cannabis chocolate sauce.

The Cannabis Gardener is an accessible and practical guide for any level of gardener interested in growing their own attractive cannabis plants.

It’s June, and the summer sun is in command of the garden in my neck of the woods (aka: the Northern Hemisphere). I have cannabis plants of several sizes and ages right now in my garden. I’ve got two plants that are now more than 2 feet tall and growing fast. I planted these young lovelies on 4/20, and both are thriving in their final homes. I then sowed some more seeds a full month later – on 5/21. These little darlings have just been transplanted from their starter pots into one gallon pots to mature for another two weeks. While I could have planted these two seedlings straight into their final homes, I needed some time before my current bed would be ready for them. And lastly, I’ve got some perky little babies just poking their heads out of the ground, and are growing strong in the bright June sun. And if I wanted even more cannabis joy in the garden, I could plant seeds today, or even next week. That’s almost a three month sowing period!
