That isn't a typo - that capitol 'B' on Borders. I'm referring to the bookstore, which is set up here at the Flower Show. Pinch yourself. This Borders has only gardening books! Imagine, everything you're looking for in one place.
I just cruised through - spent $50, as if I need more gardening books - and found a great selection. Local authors like Liz Ball, Art Wolk, Fran Sorin, Mike McGrath, Lorraine Kiefer, Claire Sawyers and many more are all represented, as are the show's featured authors, people like Joe Lamp'l, Barbara Damrosch, Paul Tukey and Rosemary Harris.
There are entire sections devoted to Pennsylvania and New Jersey flora. And just like the cookbooks I love that are devoted to one vegetable or one dish (rice, pizza, zucchini, corn), there are plant books about roses, lilies, orchids, bulbs, compost, magnolias, cacti, annuals and perennials.
I saw lots of books about this and that for dummies - though no dummies here - and special publications that discuss planting in small spaces and containers. And so much more.
Buying gardening books is usually a scattershot, frustrating experience. Not here. This is a true plant Border(s). All you can ... pay for.
