New edition boosts the mood, rethinks peat, debunks garden hacks, realigns (garden) chakras, grows up, goes nuts, and travels to some of the best gardens in North America! 

From the gardening authorities at The Old Farmer’s Almanac, the 2025 Garden Guide is a feast of color, everyday advice, and creative inspiration. Let it be your muse to grow this year’s dream garden with the best information, tips, and tidbits on:

• Trends for 2025 include rethinking raised beds, ditching traditional fencing, and working for wildlife. Plus, the latest-and-greatest options for multi-purpose edibles, hot houseplants, and shrub varieties for gardeners who are fruit curious.

• Those “one weird trick” pieces of gardening advice that should always be ignored, including why natural hacks like cinnamon, soap, vinegar, and citronella aren’t the quick fixes you think they are.

• Ditching dependence on peat moss. It’s everywhere in commercial potting mixes, but peat moss is a nonrenewable resource that’s no friend to the environment. What’s a gardener to do? Learn the secrets of potting mixology from the 2025 Garden Guide!

• Planning the perfect gardener’s vacation. Whether you’d like to explore historic horticulture, restored (or restorative!) landscapes, or innovative green spaces that push the boundaries of nature and architecture, use this tour of North America’s best public gardens as your guide. We guarantee you’ll find inspiration for your own garden!

• The power of gardening to make you feel good! Did you know that looking at flowers for just a few minutes a day can make you happier? And you can ramp up those feelings of well-being by building a color-rich, chakra-inspired garden. Also, blue-hued flowers are happiness-makers! Use the Garden Guide to grow your own good mood with florals on the azure spectrum.

• Unlocking the possibilities of vertical gardening. Make the most of any space by growing up. The 2025 Garden Guide tells you how with climbing vegetable varieties that include a rainbow of tomatoes, salad greens, and exotic fruits. 

• Cracking the code to cultivating hazelnuts, walnuts, chestnuts, and more in unexpected climates and locales! Yes, even you can go nuts for nuts!

• Creating a haven for butterflies. Of the hundreds of species in North America, around 16 percent are endangered. Welcome butterflies to your garden with a few simple design and planting choices. 

• Falling for fall, including how to keep the edible garden party going well into autumn and shelter your container favorites from winter’s chill.

All this, plus blooms for beginners, expert advice on choosing trees, tarot for gardeners, flowers to dye for, and our Pear Recipe Contest winners. Happy Gardening!
