The Best Gardening Books Curated By New Terra Farm

I read. A lot. My personal library of farming and gardening books has over 150 print titles, with a bunch more on my phone.

And now I've found a cool way to recommend some of the best gardening books I've discovered over the years.

Not Dewey Decimal, more like 'Do we know where that book is'?

I discovered an on-line retailer that actually supports local,  independent bookstores by sharing 10% of all sales.

They have raised over $5 Million in support of bookstores in many communities. Here's a blurb from their site:

"We believe that bookstores are essential to a healthy culture. They’re where authors can connect with readers, where we discover new writers, where children get hooked on the thrill of reading that can last a lifetime. They’re also anchors for our downtowns and communities".

Get A Book, Help A Bookstore

I've curated a selection of the best gardening books on the Bookshop site:

  • home vegetable gardening;
  • organic gardening;
  • raised bed gardening
  • market gardening;
  • survival gardening; and
  • best gardening books for kids

In most cases, these are books I've either read or I'm familiar with the author from other books. And a couple I recommend just because they cover an important topic and fill a 'gap'.
