Are you a New England gardener seeking a good gardening book in which to lose yourself during cold winter months? Look no further than Ellen Sousa's book The Green Garden: A New England Guide to Planning, Planting & Maintaining the Eco-Friendly Habitat Garden.
What have you read in your lifetime that inspired you to a sustainable act or to live green? Can you answer this question quickly or did you have to stop and think a spell? I had to do the later which is why I took up the Earth Day Reading Project challenge - a by-invitation blog meme that asks bloggers to commemorate Earth Day 2011 by sharing at least three books that inspired them to a sustainable act or to live a more 'green' life, and why.
Garden as if life depended on it! Doug Tallamy wrote these words in my copy of his book, Bringing Nature Home. No, I'm not a special friend or acquaintance, he wrote similar, if not identical words inside all the books he signed that day. On the other hand, though, I am special. I'm a gardener with extraordinary power … I can choose to plant whatever I want. You are also extraordinary, as you have exactly the same power as I. And if we, as gardeners, do just a little of what Tallamy suggests – increase the number of native plants growing in each of our gardens– we, individually and together, may be able to make a significant difference in the nature of our future.
