We’re Your Local, Independent Gardening Bookstore
Choose from over 45 jigsaw puzzles, all with scenes from nature. Sizes range from 150 to 1,000 pieces. These, along with matching games and mini kits, make great gifts for kids (or adults!)
We carry many cards that feature the work of individual artists. Journals, notebooks and 2023 calendars are here, too!
BOOKS & FIELD GUIDES
Books make great gifts! Below is a list of titles we carry currently. We have a few that are signed by local authors. If you’d like to know more about them, or if there is a book you’d like to see us carry, please contact Ingrid, our Book Buyer.
You’ll find books in one of four locations. In the greenhouse, there are houseplant books and cards on the wall next to the coffee bar. In the garden center, there is a wooden A-frame display with books from local authors, and general interest titles. The children’s books are in the green kids corner. And books about cooking and preserving are on the shelves with culinary items.
