Dear Friends,
orderIng and Information:
Ah, late summer. The weeds have called a temporary truce, and the squirrels are not yet digging up the lawn to stash their winter provisions. It’s a good time to sit in the garden, relax, and leave the deadheading for another day. Break out the lemonade and read about how to improve your environment by planting native plants. Peruse the history of the honey bee—did you know that only 7 of the 16,000 bee species produce honey? Or, learn how to plant a low-maintenance garden (so you can sit around with lemonade more often). All these topics and more are covered in our fall list of titles —turn the page and enjoy!

Dear Friends,
orderIng and Information:
Ah, late summer. The weeds have called a temporary truce, and the squirrels are not yet digging up the lawn to stash their winter provisions. It’s a good time to sit in the garden, relax, and leave the deadheading for another day. Break out the lemonade and read about how to improve your environment by planting native plants. Peruse the history of the honey bee—did you know that only 7 of the 16,000 bee species produce honey? Or, learn how to plant a low-maintenance garden (so you can sit around with lemonade more often). All these topics and more are covered in our fall list of titles —turn the page and enjoy!
