These are the books I've had so long I've worn them out or replaced them. Most should be in the useful category they are that helpful, but some I have reread more than once. You have a book for 20 years and it can seem brand new again. Some I practically had memorized and gifted to new gardeners. So yes, this is my "favorites" group.

      The titles are below. Click on the flower below them for review and picture of them where possible. However the first is this one. The Southern Living Garden Book. Believe it or not this is my second copy. I use to work in a local nursery and brought this book to always be able to tell costumers about the plants they where interested in. I now keep it in my car when shopping for plants at local nurseries to check if the plant will fit my needs.
