The Providential Gardener or What Grows on In Rhode Island occasionally mention books, usually because a knowledgeable Rhode Islander has especially recommended them. The Audubon Society of Rhode Island's Book Club is one ongoing book-recommending source, but then I've found at least one book list compiled by a Rhode Island gardening/environmental organization.
To make it easy for readers to find out more about these books, I've built The Providential Gardener online Amazon book store. You might want to check it out ~ even buy one of these books for yourself or as a gift.
Currently there are 3 categories:
- Audubon Society of Rhode Island Book Club Selections
- Gardening & Lawn Care
- RI Garden Club: "Gardening Books to Enjoy & Give as Gifts" (December 2006)
I'll be adding more books and categories as the holidays approach. There are thousands of books about gardening and the environment, but my goal is to select books that come highly recommended by experienced Rhode Island gardeners and environmentalists. I hope you enjoy browsing!
