If you’re looking for a holiday gift for your favorite gardener–or just want to treat yourself–check out Ken Druse’s new book, Planthropology: The Myths, Mysteries, and Miracles of My Garden Favorites.

Ken, as you may know, is a writer and photographer who has already produced several gorgeous, award-winning gardening books.  You can hear his informative podcast, Ken Druse Real Dirt, at www.KenDruse.com .

Ken’s new book is packed with stories of the adventurers and explorers who discovered new plants from all across the globe.  Since I have a long-standing interest in the history and origins of heirlooms, his book struck a chord with me.  But I admire it, too, for its abundance of good, solid gardening advice.

As the days go by, I’ll have other great book recommendations for you.  Then, when the Southeastern Flower Show opens, you can browse through all the wonderful volumes you’ll find for sale at Eagle Eye Books, one of the show’s many fine vendors.

Cheers,

Lynn
