Niki’s new book, Groundbreaking Food Gardens: 73 Plans that Will Change the Way You Grow Your Garden was published by Storey Publishing in March 2014. According to Niki, this book was “incredibly fun to write” and involved Niki chasing down some of her favourite garden writers, bloggers and experts who then created an edible garden plan for the book.

The book includes a very wide assortment of garden plans – fruits, berries, veggies, herbs, edible flowers and much more. Contributors include Mark Cullen, Marjorie Harris, Liz Primeau, Jessica Walliser, Steven Biggs, Joe Lamp’l, Barbara Pleasant, Debra Prinzing, Amy Stewart and Susan Morrison, Amanda Thomson, Jeff Lowenfels, Jessi Bloom, Nan Sterman, Paul Zammit and many many more!

Niki is also the host of The Weekend Gardener, a call-in radio show that has been on the air for over 8 years! You can join Niki every Sunday from 11 to 1 pm Atlantic time on News 95.7 FM, New 91.9 FM or News 88.9 FM or listen live online at www.news957.com.
