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.

. . . When I was in Toulouse, France I wandered into a pharmacy to get some moisturizer. While I was making my purchase, my husband noticed a little brochure on our way out, and handed it to me as we left.

Sigh. Turns out the war on drugs is alive and well across much of the globe. As I got back to work I did a bit of research on the origin of this brochure: It’s right here in the USA, in Los Angeles at the “Foundation for a Drug-Free World”.
