February 2011 Book Review
Garden Club of South Carolina
“Easy Gardens for the South”, written by Harvey Cotton, Pamela Crawford and Barbara Pleasant, is my book review choice for this month. This book is a glorious collection of ideas; what to do and not to do, when and why. It is written by three respected gardeners who practice what they preach. I find something new each time I sit down with the book in hand. The color photography brings happy smiles during this very cold winter. The plant combinations are unsurpassed. The authors really think out-of-the-box, and inspire readers to follow along. Trial gardens in Alabama and several in Georgia are used to teach the reader about developing a sustainable garden.
Each person who takes time to explore this text will find a lot to learn and put into practice. “Easy Gardens for the South” is published by Color Gardens Inc. in Canton, Georgia. I purchased the book on Amazon. Com; it can also be found in the garden section of many stores.
This book is on Minnie’s “Must Have” list of gardening books.
Until next month, when hopefully we will all be warmer-
Fondly
