From the hosts of the hit PBS series GardenFit comes the most comprehensive, body-smart guide to preventing aches and pains while gardening—so you can enjoy the garden you love for years to come.

Your garden isn’t the only thing that needs tending. Your body is your most important gardening tool! Lifelong gardener and creator of the PBS show GardenFit Madeline Hooper joins forces with personal trainer, gardener, and co-host Adam Schersten, to show gardeners how simple changes in the way they move can make gardening enjoyable for many years to come.

Drawing on years of teaching gardeners across the country—and visits to the gardens of celebrated amateur and professional gardeners including Alice Waters, Frances Palmer, Renny Reynolds, and Bunny Williams—Hooper and Schersten combine expert instruction with warmth, encouragement, and infectious enthusiasm. Filled with vibrant photography, full-color illustrations, and easy-to-follow guidance, Get GardenFit is the essential companion for every gardener who wants to grow a healthier garden—and nurture a healthier body.
