Garden Fever and No Plot to Plant?

May 05, 2011

It's garden time. But, do you lack experience? Have no backyard? Your resources are limited? Well, the library just may hold a cure.

You Grow Girl and Grow Great Grub by Gayla Trail are full of creative remedies to common gardening maladies. The author's enthusiasm and can-do attitude are contagious. Lolo Houbein's One Magic Square expands the idea of square foot gardening. She prescribes many ways to make a small plot produce a healthful bounty. For local garden-care advice, consult Kansas City Community Gardens website at www.kccg.org. 

You are sure to contract a green thumb with one or all of the many resources available through MCPL.
