My husband and I just bought our first home and I’m very excited about planting my own flower beds and vegetable garden. I don’t want to do anything extravagent, just basic beginner stuff until i learn more. Unfortunately I’m starting from ground zero with little to no knowledge on gardening and am in desperate need of some good resources.

Roedale`s Encyclopedia of Gardening would be my first choice for a book.
hgtv.com. They have the gardener guy, and sev. other videos from their show about gardening. Excellent site.
Sunlife books are excellent. Simple, elegant and teach you step by step.
Rodale’s and Taylor’s are the best books. The best TV show is Gardening By the Yard on HGTV.

Hi there, first of all there is several books that you can look at the library, or go to your local nursery’s or home depot or lowes. Also there is a few home shows that are tv. Like Bob Villa, HGTV Show. I hope this helps you two out.
My favorite gardening book is Square Foot Gardening. It’s really about modular planting in such a way that weeding and care becomes easy and you can plant more per square foot that other methods. You can modify squares to fit your space. I’ve loved it for the last decade or so.
