With several feet of snow on the ground and another wintry blast predicted, what better time to curl up with a steaming cup of whatever warms your heart and start planning your springtime garden?
No better time, says Prospero!
To get started, take a peek at this wonderful vintage book.
A vintage hardcover book, Perennials: Illustrated Encyclopedia of Gardening, was published in 1981 by the American Horticultural Society and is beautifully illustrated throughout with splendid color photos and charming drawings.
You'll read about ...
The Traditional Flowers
Planning a Perennial Garden
Basic Care and Culture
The Art of Perennial Gardening
And there's handy Plant Selection Guide and an Index.
So ... grab a pencil and paper and start sketching and taking notes, because ...
... you'll be donning your gardening gloves, grabbing your trowel
and digging in the dirt before you know it!
