I am delighted to report that Barbara Gee's second book, "The Rhode Island Gardener's Companion: An Insider's Guide to Gardening in the Ocean State" is now available. If only I had had the energy to let you all know in time to buy it for a Christmas present! However, many of you may have gift certificates from a book store, and now that we can pack up Christmas stuff ~ those of us who got out all the boxes of decorations ~ we'll want to start dreaming of gardens and planning rampant flower beds and rows of luscious fruits and vegetables to harvest and enjoy. So, pick up a copy of this indispensable book! Barbara has already been out autographing copies, and I hope to have her autograph mine.
She emailed me recently:
I wrote the book from a completely non-synthetic, non-toxic and organic perspective - it covers gardening in Little Rhody from soup to nuts including soils, climate, plants (obviously), design, city & seaside gardening and there's a very substantial RI resources chapter with all the plant societies, public gardens, master gardener information listed plus good websites and books... It's the kind of book you refer to constantly - full of facts and great anecdotes from RI gardeners ...
