Editorial Reviews Review "For vegetable gardening in the Bay Area, Golden Gate Gardening is indispensable — if you buy one gardening book, this is the one." Michael Pollan, author of In Defense of Food and The Omnivore's Dilemma "Every Bay Area gardener knows that, in addition to a copy of the Western Garden Book, you MUST have Golden Gate Gardening in your library." Sunset "...an excellent gardening book, of particular value for those living where the ocean fogs influence the gardening climate, but with substantial new material for those living just beyond the fog's reach." Pacific Horticulture "For 17 years, Bay Area gardeners have relied on Pam Peirce's authoritative 'Golden Gate Gardening' as their go-to resource for no-nonsense general instruction on nurturing fruits, vegetables and herbs in the home garden." San Jose Mercury News "...exceptionally thorough, authoritative and readable. It is a rare combination of solid science, practical experience and a conversational style of writing... The good chapters keep coming. Look for clear practical information on garden planning, improving garden soil, buying seeds and other starts, getting plants started and watering. The book also has very good sections on pests, diseases and annual and perennial weeds." Read more The Monterey Herald

About the Author Pam Peirce is also the author of Wildly Successful Plants: Northern California. She writes the Q&A column "Golden Gate Gardener" for the San Francisco Chronicle and teaches gardening and horticulture at City College of San Francisco, where she lives.

I like it, but I am totally spoiled by the Sunset Wester Garden Book (which is gorgeous with a wealth of information). This book has a lot of good information about planting seasons in the Bay Area, and has specific information based on where you live. I just wish it had better/more pictures, and that it was easier to navigate and find information. Comment

Get it! Excellent, super detailed, perfect for the Bay Area! My son, an 11-year old, uses this book. It's written for grown-ups, but he understands it just fine and has done well with it. Published 1 year ago

Laura Seaside

Great Book February 25, 2010 Format: Paperback Verified Purchase This book tells me almost everything I need to know to start my first vegetable garden, from planning my garden to dealing with pests. I can't imagine a better all-around book for gardeners who live in the Bay Area or California coast. The information is all specific to local micro-climates, with no space wasted on information that is not relevant in this part of the country. My only criticism is that I would have left out the handful of recipes scattered in the book. Comment

J. Peters My favorite gardening book! March 29, 2013 Format: Paperback Verified Purchase

Published 1 year ago

I love this book!! Great information for bay area gardeners. I bought it for my Organic Gardening and Food Production class at SRJC but I'm sure I'll be using it for years to come! It has everything, how to put together different kinds of composts, a planting guide, info on local pests and plant diseases, info on just about anything you'd want to put in your garden, and info on common weeds.

Five Stars This is the best gardening guide for the Bay Area, we are lucky to have it!

Must have if you are a gardener in the SF Bay area December 22, 2017 Format: Paperback Verified Purchase Not sure if this is the most current version, so please check. If you live in the bay area and garden, this is a must have. I had mine signed by Pam Pierce - I have this one to my little friend Dex who belongs to a community garden through his school in SF.

buy the paper copy September 22, 2013 Format: Kindle Edition Verified Purchase

Published on July 22, 2015

The gardening information is fantastic; I am getting a home gardening up and running based on the authors advice. I only wish I had purchased the paper copy instead of the ebook. The ebook really fell short of my expectations. For example, the index does not have clickable links and no page numbers are listed! There were several other issues with charts and side bar items that made me wish I had purchased a physical copy. Comment
