Spring reading is about to give way to summer fun, so we're just savoring these last few days in the park, reading in a green hammock under the trees...Here are the best books to dig into this season...
A Shakespeare Botanical by Margaret Willes: This beautiful book contains period-appropriate full color illustrations of the flowers and herbs mentioned in the plays of the bard, complete with quotes.
Gardening with Peter Rabbit by Beatrix Potter: Found in a Little Free Library, this cute kids book is full of gardening projects based on characters Peter Rabbit, Squirrel Nutkin, etc...
Flowering Wilderness by John Galsworthy: This is the penultimate title in a long family saga set in the early 1900s. I hope it's as good as it's cover!
The Complete Book of Garden Magic by Roy Biles: My mom used to have this beautiful old book, and I found a copy at The Book Thing one day. It's a compendium of plant knowledge and lore.
A Garden of Miracles by Jill Davies: A 1980s green juice book that contains many recipes for tea and other drinks for health, pleasure and beauty!
