Re: Southern gardening book

Hi Andrew,
Be sure to suggest they visit the UGA Trial Gardens and see what they would
like to grow in person! There's also a Spring Sale at the Trial Gardens.
These 3 are my fave (and I live in Atlanta, 45 minutes from Athens):
How about a used copy of the out-of-print but v. useful *Southern Herb
Growing* by Madeline Hill + Gwen Barclay
*Garden Bulbs for the South* by Scott Ogden
*Southern Gardener's Book of Lists: The Best Plants for All Your Needs,
Wants and Whims* by Lois Trigg Chapman

Best, Geri
