Jo Turner's The Preserving Garden is a stylishly illustrated guide to keeping the pantry stocked from a home garden year-round. Forty-three plant profiles cover growing notes for a veggie patch or small orchard in any space, from when to plant through to fruit tree maintenance, pollination and crop rotation.

The recipes are the real drawcard — scalable techniques for chutneys, relishes, jams, jellies, marmalades, bottling and drying, built to make the most of whatever the garden produces. Illustrated by Ashlea O'Neill, it's a practical, good-looking companion for anyone growing their own.
