Still Spring Garden in February

Feb 12-14 is the Great Backyard Bird Count! You can find more information here.


Here are some of the books about gardening, birds, and science that I have read, inspired by Still Spring Garden. It started with Margaret Roach’s A Way To Garden, and one book led to another. Those marked with an asterisk are available at Nashville Public Library.
