I’m going to start off and let the audience know that I in fact know nothing when it comes to gardening and landscaping. For this blog to properly highlight what we have in our collection, I had my work cut out for me. Once I started digging into this collection I was absolutely blown away. There is literally a book on everything you could come up with for gardening and landscaping. I picked out a few sections to highlight that I thought would be great knowledge for our upcoming Spring.

Of course, we got to start off by mentioning that there is an extensive amount of beginner’s books for gardening. Any of the books mentioned below do an excellent job, taking you through any basics you need to know to start your gardening experience. Nervous! Don’t be our beginner’s guides will show you how to achieve your starting goals.

If you already fancy yourself quite the green thumb and are looking to elevate your garden to the next level, check out these 3 sections. Everything from growing a garden with chickens, raised garden beds, and organic gardening is at your fingertips. I personally thought Plant this Instead really broke down common problems seen in gardening and offered easy to understand solutions. If you’re at all worried about gardening in that Wyoming climate, we have you covered with books explaining gardening in high altitudes, dry land, and cold climates. When talking about gardens you simply can’t leave out perennials. Grab a book on how you can get your garden to come back year after year.

We cannot forget about landscaping! If you want a tidier yard, or you’re hoping to give your lawn a brand-new look we have many books to cover those needs. Everything from construction in landscaping to your dream backyard setup. If you’re looking for a summer project that will allow you to enjoy being outside, then learning to landscape is where you need to start. This part of our book collection holds landscaping books that teach you to build outdoor spaces, making your yard edible, lawn care, and so much more.

Lastly it wouldn’t be a good idea to skip over the fact that we have many titles available on the Libby app covering gardening. If you’re tired of reading and need a visual to help with your new gardening goals we have DVD’s on the topic as well.
