It's Time for Garden Therapy by Pam

It's Time for Garden Therapy

April in the Merrimack Valley this year was typical: flowers and birds everywhere, but not a lot of warmth. Now that it’s May, many of us are itching to finally get out in the garden. It’s the perfect way to enjoy being outdoors while social distancing. Even if you are limited to a balcony or deck, a window box can be deeply satisfying. And if you live in an apartment, houseplants can also do the trick.

Here are a few books that you can access via Overdrive, our e-book collection. If there’s a waiting list, there are lots of others to choose from. And don’t forget, there’s a zillion wonderful gardening blogs, podcasts, and videos.
