On March
9th, Washington Gardener staff headed over to Brookside Gardens in Wheaton. MD, to donate a variety of gardening books on topics including bonsai gardening, pollinator plants, native gardens, and houseplants--along with garden books for children.
This year’s
donations adds up to a total value of $466.40 (so far). By the close of 2016, Washington Gardener
gifted $683.01 in books and, in 2015, the book donation totaled $534.99. The
biggest yearly donation yet was in 2013, with $3,070.94 in books given.
Several
of the books that editor and publisher Kathy Jentz donates to the library have been
previously reviewed and featured in magazine editions. Check out the latest
book reviews of Chinese Kitchen Garden by Wendy Kiang-Spray and Miniature
Moss Gardens by Megumi Oshima and Hideshi Kimura in the March 2017 edition of Washington
Gardener.
