Fensterbrettgarten

This book is produced in a climate-positive way, printed cradle-to-cradle, and remains plastic-free and unpackaged.

"Gardening? Yes, that would be nice, but I just don't have a garden..." Bet you actually do have one, and you can probably see it from where you're sitting, standing, or lying down right now? Welcome to the smallest garden in the world, also known as: the windowsill. Whether it's indoors or outdoors, sunny or (partly) shady, narrow or wide, and regardless of whether you have a lot of time or just a little - choose the right plants for your location and get started. Endless equipment? Not needed, because with just a few pots, some soil, and seeds, you're ready to go. Peas, eggplant, basil, melon pear, or maybe salad: let it grow!

I'm off to the garden: about favorite spots, plant BFFs, and waste that isn't waste at all. Location? Check. Equipment? Check. Motivation? Check! If you want to harvest more from your windowsill than just the occasional sprig of rosemary or a handful of basil leaves, the motto is: the more, the merrier. In fact, various plants get along quite well and can easily be planted in the same pot. Save space while still having a colorful mix on your windowsill? Check. In the book, you'll find suggestions for which plant roommates work well together (and which don't). By the way: for some green roommates, you don't even need to buy seeds or fertilizer - because both might already be waiting for you in your kitchen. For example, with a little patience, the lettuce stump can easily turn into a new, crunchy specimen. Or the banana peels from breakfast can become organic fertilizer for your watering can... and your indoor or outdoor windowsills can quickly transform into a mini-garden.

Give me more... Green in the city - all year round. When it gets dark earlier again, and the sun-loving plants like eggplant or bell peppers say their final goodbyes...
