Martha Stewart Shares a First Look at Her Gardening Book: It ‘Contains Everything You Need!’
Plus, what other books the 83-year-old is planning on releasing
Martha Stewart is ready to plant some new roots and embark on her next adventure. The 83-year-old cooking and home expert recently shared via Instagram that she will release a gardening book in March 2025. We have all the must-know details below, including what the mother of one has said about her love of plants in the past.
Everything to know about Martha Stewart’s new gardening handbook
Stewart’s gardening book is going to be naturally titled Martha Stewart’s Gardening Handbook: The Essential Guide to Designing, Planting, and Growing, and it is expected to hit shelves on March 18, 2025.
“I’m so excited to share the image of the cover of my next book, Martha Stewart’s Gardening Handbook, coming from @harvestbooks in March,” Stewart wrote on Instagram. “If you are a green thumb or a novice, this guide contains everything you need to make and grow a beautiful, thriving garden. It’s available for pre-order now.”
Naturally, her fans were thrilled and commented things such as, “We can only dream of having a garden as beautiful as yours! So excited for this one,” and “Stunning! I can’t wait to add it to my collection of Martha Stewart books” on the chef’s Instagram announcement.
According to Stewart’s website, she has published 100 books since 1982, with her most recent one being Martha: The Cookbook: 100 Favorite Recipes, with Lessons and Stories from My Kitchen, which was released in November 2024.
“Not all 100 books are cookbooks, you know,” Stewart told First for Women in its December 2024 issue. “There’s my Homekeeping Handbook, a masterpiece encyclopedia, and Living the Good Long Life. We have another gardening handbook coming out next year, so that’s 101!”
Aside from her gardening book, Stewart also told First for Women that she has “a book about my houses” and “a book about me” in the works as well.
Martha Stewart on gardening, books and lifelong learning
Stewart’s love for gardening is nothing new. In fact, in that same conversation with First for Women, she revealed that her favorite way to unwind is by visiting her beloved plants.
“I’ll go to the greenhouse and groom a 100-foot bench of orchids, or I’ll go take a horseback ride,” Stewart said. “Something where you can’t pay attention to anything else because you have to concentrate on what you’re doing in that moment…it’s fantastic. Those are both very good things that I do to refocus, and it’s so healing.”
Gardening isn’t the only thing Stewart loves to do, though. According to her, she has “to write books.”
“I have to do research, so I keep my mind extremely active,” she continued. “Now, I don’t remember everyone’s name, but nobody does, so I don’t feel bad about that!”
“I read the entire New York Times, and I do all the puzzles every single day: I do Wordle in about an average of four guesses if you look at my statistics. I do Letter-Boxed, then Connections, and it’s so good for your brain.”
The books Martha Stewart thinks everyone should read
Since she has written so many books, it makes total sense that Stewart loves to read. While talking with First for Women this past December, the gardening expert shared two books she will never stop recommending.
“If you haven’t read One Hundred Years of Solitude by [Gabriel] García Márquez, I would suggest you read it because that is one of the greatest books ever written,” she said. “But I can say the same thing about The Scarlet Letter by Nathaniel Hawthorne. Another fabulous book, and nobody’s reading that book anymore. It’s passé, and I think even [Gabriel] García Márquez is passé.”
Stewart’s newest book, Martha Stewart’s Gardening Handbook: The Essential Guide to Designing, Planting, and Growing, is available for pre-order now wherever books are sold.
