			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>When I opened my mail today, the first thing I saw was a catalog reminding me that &#8220;Books Make Great Gifts.&#8221;   Colorful gardening books with glossy pages are especially welcome at this time of year, when the landscape itself is becoming pretty dull and dreary.</p>
<p>If you&#8217;re looking for a holiday gift for your favorite gardener&#8211;or just want to treat yourself&#8211;check out Ken Druse&#8217;s new book, <strong>Planthropology:</strong> <em>The Myths, Mysteries, and Miracles of My Garden Favorites.</em></p>
<p>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, <em><span style="color: #008000;">Ken Druse Real Dirt,</span></em> at <a href="http://www.KenDruse.com">www.KenDruse.com</a> .</p>
<p>Ken&#8217;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.</p>

<p>As the days go by, I&#8217;ll have other great book recommendations for you.  Then, when the Southeastern Flower Show opens, you can browse through all the wonderful volumes you&#8217;ll find for sale at <a href="http://www.eagleeyebooks.com" target="_blank">Eagle Eye Books</a>, one of the show&#8217;s many fine vendors.</p>
<p>Cheers,</p>
