December 21, 2010Four must-give garden books
By California authors and photographers, any of these will be a hit with a gardener:
Succulent Container Gardens
The American Meadow Garden
Fearless Color Gardens
Power of Gardens
That muddy-booted person on your gift list probably knows that to be au fait in the garden world all these books must be perused.
A supremely dramatic gesture would be the four, gift-wrapped in a stack.

Daily Mail—-A peaty discussion about bog preservation.

You forgot Rosalind Creasy’s “Edible Landscaping” a shoo-in for garden book of the year

Debra, Happy AloeDays to you too!
Dick, <sound of smacking myself on the head> What’s my excuse? I think of Ros as a 2011 book, since she was published so recently. The book race will be tight, between Ros and Debra.

Thanks Charlotte ! Most fair to put Ros’ book on the 2011 list since you put Meadows (pub 09) on your 2010 list. Most logical; no need to slap your head…

Woo-hoo~ thank you! A mention in dirtdujour is all the Christmas present I need, but I may just treat myself to The Power of Gardening (I have the others). Happy AloeDays and Merry New Year!
