| Heirloom Country Gardens; Timeless Treasures for Today's Gardeners
by Sarah Wolfgang Heffner is another book I discovered (not sure where
I heard about it) that is a treasure for my personal library.
This books gives a history about heirloom gardens and shows some garden
designs. It covers heirloom vegetabls, antique flowers, herbs and
flavorful old-time fruits and berries. It shows you how to grow
gardens grandma's way, has projects for a country look, talks about how
to save seeds and even includes some favorite old-time recipes.
At the back you can find resources for heirloom gardens, recommended
reading and a USDA Plant Hardiness Zone Map. Scattered throught
the book are beautiful pictures of gardens and vegetables. Another
winner for my bookshelf!
