Gardening It’s that time of year when we all look outside and start to think about our outside
spaces. Whether you have acres of land or do container gardening on a balcony, the
Round Lake Library and its Malta branch have information that can help. A few of
our newer titles include:
Armitage’s Garden Perennials: Second Edition, Fully revised and Updated by
A.M. Armitage. Armitage is a noted authority on plants.
Planting the Dry Shade Garden: The Best Plants for the Toughest Spot in your
Garden by Graham Rice, will help those with lots of shade make
the most of their space.
For those apartment dwellers with a green thumb, pick up Small-
Space Container Gardens by Fern Richardson, for handy tips on
growing herbs, flowers and even fruit.
Are you bothered by critters in your garden? Neil Soderstrom’s
Deer Resistant Landscaping: Proven Advice and Strategies for Outwitting
Deer and 20 Other Pesky Mammals, might be just what you need.
Landscaping for Privacy: Innovative Ways to Turn Your Outdoor Space
into a Peaceful Retreat by Marty Wingate, offers advice on how to
keep the world from encroaching on your garden oasis.
If you hate to mow, The Edible Front Yard: the Mow-Less, Grow-More
Plan for a Beautiful, Bountiful Garden by Ivette Soler, should be on
your must-read list.
For those of us with less time and energy, Felder Rushing’s Slow Gardening: A No-StressPhilosophy for
All Senses and All Seasons is a must-read.
The Library also has books for the youngest gardeners. Kids’Con-
tainer Gardening: Year-Round Projects for Inside and Outside by Cindy
Krezel and The Book of Gardening Projects for Kids: 101 Ways to Get Kids
Outside, Dirty and Having Fun by Whitney Cohen are just two of the
possibilities.
Finally, if looking at beautiful gardens has more appeal than actu-
ally planting one, try Founding Gardeners by Andrea Wulf or Gardens
of the Hudson Valley by Steve Gross.
For these or other gardening titles, call or visit the Library.
Happy Gardening!
