The guide to gardening
One of my very favorite gardening books is the Reader’s Digest Guide to Gardening. I have a second- or third-hand copy that was passed down to me, and with it came sticky notes and scraps of paper marking pertinent spots in the book. Needless to say, I have added to those stickys and scraps and my book is truly a mess. So when I saw that there was a New Illustrated Guide to Gardening came out last year, I couldn’t want to get my hands on a copy.
And it did not disappoint. The color photos are even more vibrant, and thumbnail photos showing specific species of plants, as well as specific photos of pests and disease, are invaluable. This is truly a time when a picture is worth a thousand words. This book is a terrific resource for a beginner gardener like me, or anyone who wants access to basic and helpful gardening information in one very well put together place.
