These low-maintenance plants are perfect for gardeners who want to save time, reduce costs, improve their soil, and enjoy a more productive backyard garden.

We’ll also cover five essential strategies for maximizing perennial harvests:

You’ll also discover how to design a productive perennial garden by grouping plants with similar sunlight, drainage, and moisture requirements. Whether you have a large backyard, a small garden bed, or only a few containers, you can start building a renewable food supply with just three or four plants.
