Here are some recently published books related to gardening. If you'd like to get free seeds from Madison Public Library, check out our Seed Library, which is available at all eight of our neighborhood libraries. We've also got printable gardening book lists for kids and adults to use alongside their seeds!
The library owns about two billion gardening books. I’m pretty sure that is hardly an exaggeration. It can be a bit overwhelming.
So let me recommend one as a librarian and a gardener: Emily Murphy’s Grow What You Love: 12 Food Plant Families to Change Your Life. It isn’t the only gardening book you’ll ever need, but it’s a darn good start.
The Seed Library is a self-sustaining seed exchange program. Choose from flower, herb and produce seeds then "check out" seeds for at-home gardening. After growing and harvesting the vegetables, participants are encouraged to return seeds to the library to be checked out to someone else.
