The article discusses the author's recent visit to a local library, highlighting the newfound interest in its gardening section. As the weather warms up, the display of gardening books inspires the author to explore new ideas for their garden. Unlike the internet, the library provides a space for idea generation and discovery of new gardening concepts, such as shade gardens. Furthermore, the library serves as a valuable resource for accessing various gardening materials, attending events, and even using a seed library, which supports local gardening communities. Overall, libraries are portrayed as vital sources for both practical knowledge and inspiration.
While chatting with the librarian, I spotted a display of gardening books just over her shoulder, now that the weather is warming up.
What I enjoyed most about the library was the idea generation. I had never considered planting a shade garden or curating a mossy area.
Some books are so packed with information that you may decide that having a copy at home is essential for your garden's success.
The library is a fabulous introduction to test-run titles you then can purchase at your locally owned bookshop or put on your secondhand wish list.
