Down to Earth Gardening, Monthly Tips and Year-Round Notes, The Short Hills Garden Club, 1974

Down to Earth Gardening, Monthly Tips and Year-Round Notes by The Short Hills Garden Club.

Originally published by Scribner's for The Short Hills (New Jersey) Garden Club as From the Roots Up in 1974, this delightful little garden manual "has been planned as a basic tool for amateur gardeners, gathered from the experience of a group of down-to-earth gardeners." 

Promoted as two books in one, Down to Earth Gardening explains what should be done in the garden on a month-by-month basis while also providing short articles on specific gardening subjects such as the flower garden, landscaping with trees and shrubs, garden care, house plants, flower arranging, and the vegetable garden. 

With 96 pages filled with practical information and charming illustrations throughout, there is absolutely something for every gardener in this homespun little softcover book.
