Library Notes for the week of March 3rd


It was sudden brought to my attention that Daylight Savings Time begins Sunday March 9th. With the change in daylight and weather you may not be reading as much. I know the garden begins to call about this time each year. Here are a few gardening books to inspire you.

Theme Gardens by Hazel White. A guide to distinctive garden styles with a wealth of ideas for your home landscaping. How to create garden vignettes that capture a look, evoke a mood or take your garden in a whole new direction.

Beautiful Bulbs by Georgeanne Brennan. This book contains simple, easy-to-follow directions for growing lovely flowers from bulbs indoor and out, for every season of the year. Includes tips on when and how to buy, force, plant, naturalize and store bulbs.

Country Living Cottage Gardens by Toby Musgrave. Evoke all the romance of a classic cottage garden with traditional and contemporary plants. Create a cottage garden that’s a haven of peace and tranquility and a place to escape the hustle and bustle of everyday life.

Glorious Indoor Gardens by Michele Driscoll Alioto. Explore a wide variety of planting possibilities and garden styles. Alioto focuses on the design, history, and family use of each site he showcases, from a magnificent desert garden in Arizona to a terrarium-filled Soho loft in New York.
