My Top Three Gardening Book Recommendations

1/13/2016

2 Comments

 
As you look towards the spring gardening season, I wanted to share with you my Top Three Gardening Book Recommendations. In the age of Google, I realize that a lot of gardening information is just a click away. However, nothing beats a good gardening book that you will use year after year.

But when you go to choose a gardening book, the options can be a bit overwhelming. There is certainly something for everyone, from inspirational and philosophical to more practical DIY guides. The books I recommend in this video are more functional in their approach. They are books that I use as reference guides every growing season, ones that I have found most useful for detailed information about plants as well as garden design ideas.

For those of you on a limited budget, you can get a lot of great gardening books at the library, including the ones that I recommend. If you're considering buying, borrowing them first from the library allows you to make an informed decision and to buy the select few that you find really useful.

So click on the video below to learn more.
If you have gardening book recommendations that you would like to share, please share them in the comments below. Also, if you liked this video, I would appreciate you sharing it with your friends!

Thanks so much for watching and I'll be in touch soon,

Kareen

Good Morning, Kareen,
Lasagna Gardening, by Patricia Lanza is a wonderful guide for those starting a new garden --- without all the heavy spading and
removing sod and weeds. You demonstrated this at one time...It really is a good way to go --- especially for new gardeners who want to use some lawn space for a garden...
Thanks for the information,
Zelpha
