It’s time to be thinking about the greening of your yard and your thumbs.
Before you buy your first seed packet, use the library to plan carefully before you plant carelessly. Sagebrush does not do well on Pershing. Shade Gardens will tell you what will thrive beneath the lovely but problematic trees lining the shady streets of Skinker-DeBaliviere. Landscape It Yourself gives sound advice on designing planting areas around your home that are functional as well as beautiful. Dare to be botanically different! Growing trees inside your home is a challenge, but the dramatic effect is worth all the effort. How to Grow Trees Indoors provides the necessary information including answers to such questions as, “Do Indoor Trees Like Music?” and “Talking to Indoor Trees – Does It Help?” The Adventurous Gardener is filled with outof-the-ordinary things to grow or ways to grow them. You can raise radishes in your closet under lights, grow your own teas, personalize a pumpkin, or grow a cucumber in a bottle with this intriguing book.
Reading about plants is much easier than growing them. Green Immigrants tells what effects many common plants have had on history.
The Scots spread thistles on a beach and drove marauding Vikings painfully back to their ships … so they say. Crabgrass was actually brought here by the U.S. government in 1849 to meet the growing need for good forage for livestock.
This little book is plant lore at its best.
On Friday, March 6 at 10 A.M., bring cuttings, catalogs, and friends to Des Peres Branch Library.
