Small Space Gardening
It was last year in quarantine that a lot of us tried things to occupy our time. For some, it was baking, cleaning out their houses, or even the joy of taking a walk. This year isn't much different. We are still living in the pandemic and learning new things to socially distance ourselves from others. The art of gardening is one of the fulfilling things you can do with your time. It offers many things beyond just growing food. It teaches us to have patience and creates a good habit that will continue to educate us. Some of us don't have the space to have a beautiful, big garden. These books help to deal with the space issue. Also, don't forget the Seed Library that we offer. It will give you a good start to the season!
