Ashley Greenfield

Ashley Greenfield is passionate about gardening. As a kid, she learned gardening skills from her dad's garden, growing lettuce, tomatoes, herbs, onions, and the most fun zucchini. In the backyard, there was an orange tree. Always having fresh-grown fruits and vegetables sparked her interest, and it grew from there. Owning her home with a backyard patio area inspired the book to create an oasis on a smaller scale made of vegetables in raised planters, trellises, and herbs in pots. Her favorite is using her wonderful-smelling basil to make pesto. In her new book, Ashley offers practical advice and heartfelt encouragement for anyone looking to start their homesteading journey. Whether planting your first tomato or dreaming of a full-scale backyard farm, Ashley’s down-to-earth guidance will help you create a productive and fulfilling homestead right in your yard.
