Happy Friday! Since it’s been a while since I hosted a book giveaway, I thought I’d surprise you today with a chance to win a copy of Kitchen Garden Living, by Bailey Van Tassel. If you’re ready to have a beautiful, bountiful food garden, this guide to seasonal growing and eating is for you.
End of Summer Reading: The Lavender Companion
Happy Friday dear readers. I hope you are enjoying the last few days of summer as much as I am. Even though it's gotten hot here again, I’m turning my thoughts towards fall gardening and homemaking. Last month, I was honored to become an ambassador for Storey Publishing, so today’s book is the first of what I hope to be many collaborations with it for them. Today's review is about the beloved herb Lavender. It's a staple in my here garden.

The Garden Journal A Beautiful Five Year Record Keeping Tool
Tomorrow marks the first official day of winter, which for most gardeners, or those aspiring to be, is the perfect time to be warm and cozy inside, while dreaming of what we want to do outside once the weather is warm again. I can think of no better book for garden dreaming and planning than The Garden Journal, a beautiful five-year record-keeping tool by Linda Vater. As a special thanks to my readers, I’m hosting a giveaway for a hardbound copy of this book.
The Garden Journal: A Five Year Record Keeping Tool!
I receive a lot of emails on any given day asking me if I’d like to review books that cover a wide array of genres, and usually, I can tell from the email copy if I’m interested. If you've been around my blog for a while, you know I love gardening and flowers and books- most especially, books about gardening and flowers! so of course I happily agreed to review and host a giveaway for a Garden for Grace, which is simply one of the sweetest books I’ve read in a long time.
A Garden for Grace Book Review and Giveaway:
We’ve finally made it to the end of January, and we can
officially start the countdown to spring! With only 48 days of winter left,
it’s time for us to start planning our gardens, which is one of my favorite
winter activities. If you’ve read my blog or social media posts, you know I
love flowers. I’m a cottage garden girl all the way! I lost a few plants last
year including one of my oldest Peonies to some sort of infestation, so this
book Attracting Beneficial Bugs to your Garden has come at a perfect time for
me. I’ve been studying it on chilly winter nights and taking notes during my
lunch breaks to better prepare myself for the gardening year ahead. Read on to
learn more about gardening bugs (the good and the bad) and enter to win our
first giveaway of the year!
Spring Is Coming!
I can’t believe we are in the middle of July already. With the sultry summer days upon us, adding more plants outside may not sound appealing, but these two books can help. The first book, Micro Food Gardening will show you how to plant tiny plants that will grow and thrive in small spaces like windowsills and front porches or stoops. The second book, Tiny Plants, will welcome you into the world of miniature house plants that will thrive in small spaces too. Read on to learn how to enter the giveaway for these two small, but mighty gardening book resources.
