There are so many books on gardening -- some good, some not.
If you have a favourite book on gardening, then do share! If you want to warn us off a book that looks good but doesn't live up to expectations, then share that too!
Simply write a little summary of the book and tell us what you like or don't like about it. Really, it might be that the book is good for the pictures (inspiration?), the detailed "how-to-do-something" or is a philosophical reflection on the practice of gardening ... anything really. The only requirement is that the book has something to do with gardening.
Send your review to Leona. Your review will be posted to this blog tagged "book review."
Looking forward to hearing from you!

Tooting our own Flute! CampusRoots acknowledged on City of Lethbridge "Green List"
The Campus Roots Community Garden Association is honored to be acknowledged by the City of Lethbridge for our efforts in building a better, green world. The City writes, "The CRCGA has worked hard to plan, construct, maintain and expand a campus and community space for growing local and organic food. The garden is a wonderful avenue for people to connect with their own food, with other gardeners, with the outdoors, and to live an alternative and active lifestyle that reduces their environmental footprint. The CRCGA is a dedicated and “growing” organization that brings multiple social and environmental benefits to the community of Lethbridge!"
We are not alone in our endeavors. To see who we are keeping good company with, check out the City of Lethbridge's Green List of individuals, other organizations, and businesses. Congratulations to all the recipients and keep up the good work!
And ... a big thank you to all of our members who *ARE* the CRCGA. As Pinar Kocak, our Membership Coordinator says, "you are to be congratulated too as part of our community and all the effort you've put into the garden this year - thank you so much!"
"Never doubt that a small group of thoughtful, committed citizens can change the world. Indeed, it is the only thing that ever has." -- Margaret Mead
