My mother loves to be outside, tending to her flowers . . . even in the Alabama heat. And does she have a green thumb? The greenest! Did I inherit her ability to make things grow? My thumb has just a hint of green, limited to a few flower beds and pots in the front of my house. I love plants, just not enough to spend some of every day tending to them. But I am happy to spend some of every day reading about them! And there are lots of great new gardening books to occupy my time. Thought I'd share them with you on Garden Meditation Day! Maybe you can grab a few to read while spending time in a garden. Don't have a garden at your home? Visit Aldridge Gardens in Hoover!
