New Releases: Vegetable and Flower Gardening Books
Kitchen Garden Revival book – photography by Eric Kelley
I
f you’re on a gardening journey, have a little down time whether it’s staying at home with what’s going on, or staying inside because the summer heat is killer (raising hand), I have some great flower and vegetable gardening books to recommend to keep you company.
I was sent these new release titles from the publishers (I get a list and I request specific titles) and when the books arrived I wish you could have seen my excitement! Give me any interior design or gardening books that can help me refine my skills and interests, and good luck getting my nose out of it!
I took some time to go through these books, although I’m not a speed reader by any means I wanted to share these latest book releases with some details so you can decide which titles to add to your library. We, or should I say I, have a LOT of home and garden books that I had to make room and donate some. These will be on my shelf for years to come and I think would be great additions for gardeners on any level – and fantastic books to gift – maybe even cheer someone up and send them a book as a surprise gesture!

Diana Elizabeth many years ago spoke to a friend about how she (her friend, not her) hiked a mountain, in awe, she said to her friend, “Wow, I wish I could do that, and her friend said, “You can, you just have to WANT to,” and gave a smile. She thought how true that is to anything – if there’s a will or an interest, it will absolutely happen.
