Spring has Sprung- Gardening

OK, I'll admit it- I don't garden. But I LOVE thumbing through gardening books, imagining all the possibilities. Raised beds, container gardens, shade gardens, and my favorite flowers- orchids, roses, hydrangeas, peonies, poppies, sunflowers, and lilacs. In my mind, my yard is bursting with floral color and fragrance. Maybe you enjoy doing the same thing, or maybe you like putting your hands in the dirt and your foot on the shovel, creating your own garden masterpiece. Either way, the library has all the books (and magazines) to meet your creative gardening needs (or dreams).
