This was one of the first books I bought when I got my allotment and I kept a paperback copy in the shed down on the plot which I could refer to whenever I was planting something new. It was an invaluable guide, with detailed yet easy-to-understand growing instructions, as well as little plans for laying out your vegetable garden in a more ornamental way.

Beth Chatto, who died in 2018, was one of the most brilliant gardeners and happy to share her lifelong love of plants. Her plant descriptions were legendary and her turn-of-phrase a joy to read. Based on two different areas of her own garden in Essex, these books are useful if you are gardening in extremes of shade or sun, with endless ideas for planting combinations that you can adapt to your own plot.

This is an erudite romp through garden history, from ancient Egypt to the present day, with a focus on how plants have been cultivated, catalogued and distributed throughout history. It is fascinating to be able to put our current gardening practices in context as so many of the plants we grow today were introduced from abroad from the 16th century onwards. This is a book by a leading designer and plant expert that will make you look at your garden plants in a new light.

Like with any book, it's a matter of personal preference whether you go with an eBook or print copy, but a printed gardening book is often the more practical option. Visually, print books have the edge over their digital counterparts because of their superior photography and illustrative material. You can take a book out in the garden with you for reference, mark the pages you want to return to later with sticky tabs, and if the book is of good quality and not too fragile, it can even benefit from a little dirt to make it look more aged and well-loved.

We think so! Many of the gardening books in this article are packed with hundreds of pages of instruction and inspiration, which we think is more than worth $10 to $20 for a beautifully illustrated paperback, with eBooks usually running considerably less.

Even in these days of free access to tons of unedited information on gardening (and everything else under the sun) via posts on social media, articles on blogs, and other online content, books produced by publishers are both useful and important, because they have been designed for their targeted audience, and curated by editors and others. The end result is a reliable, readable, and organized volume to help you be more successful in your gardening activities.

In the case of my four University Press of Florida books, the publisher paid two or three peer reviewers to go over the text to look for errors, suggest topics that are not included in the manuscript, and to analyze the market for the book.

Buying books from authors when you hear them speak is the single best way of supporting their efforts. As they can buy their books at a discount (not as much as you might think), selling them in person allows them to keep more of the profit.

Definitely a labour of love that us readers really appreciate. There is huge need to get scientifically based accurate information out to the public. Plus nothing is better than sitting down with a good gardening book.

Phaidon is celebrating its 100th anniversary of publishing art books by taking a well-earned victory lap. Garden follows their splendid Bird, my favorite coffee table book of 2021. It's another superbly curated, broad-reaching collection, this time ripe with images of garden-related paintings, photographs, advertising posters, jewelry, ceramics, textiles, sculptures, postage stamps, design plans, and seed packages.

Garden chronicles humankind's enduring love of gardening as it has evolved over four millennia, first from the necessity to cultivate food, but later in a drive to create beauty and paradise on Earth. A more recent focus has been on "Earth friendly" gardens that benefit wildlife and mitigate climate change by creating essential nature reserves and sanctuaries managed and shaped by gardeners.

What do cold climate gardeners do in the winter, after they have wrung every drop of enjoyment out of their now-bedraggled seed catalogs? Why, they read gardening books, of course. To help my readers in this endeavor, I have assembled all the books that I have either read or are in my possession that relate to cold climate and short season gardening.

The Backyard Parables: Lessons on Gardening, and Life by Margaret Roach. This is more of a meditative rumination of gardening, but it includes practical sidebars which may be helpful since Margaret Roach gardens in USDA Zone 5. A good read no matter where you garden, and reviewed here.

Essays on Gardening in a Cold Climate by Brian Bixley. One of my all-time favorite collection of gardening essays. Brian Bixley is a contributor to this blog: after he stumbled upon my mention of his book, we became acquainted and the rest is history. Reviewed here.

Four-Season Harvest: Organic Vegetables from Your Home Garden All Year Long, 2nd Edition by Eliot Coleman. A gardening classic. Eliot Coleman has the heart of a farmer and the mind of an engineer. Check out his website.

Gardens Adirondack Style by Janet Loughrey The Adirondack Mountains in New York State have some of the highest elevations and lowest temperatures in the state, so this book provides plenty of design inspiration from public and private cold climate gardens. Also it was one of the first books I ever reviewed (Horticulture April 2006) so it will always have a soft spot in my heart.

High and Dry: Gardening with Cold-Hardy Dryland Plants by Robert Nold. Cold climates in different parts of the country vary considerably in the types of plants that do well there. If you garden in the mountainous west, this book will have more plants that suit your climate than books about northeast or even midwest cold climates.

Making the Most of Shade: How to Plan, Plant, and Grow a Fabulous Garden that Lightens up the Shadows by Larry Hodgson. A good basic book on shade gardening, full of tips. It even includes a section on what to do if your shade garden suddenly turns sunny. The author gardens in Quebec and his plant encyclopedia is biased toward cold climate gardening.

Martha Stewart is a true multi-hyphenate who has brought her knowledge of all things homekeeping to the masses via her television shows, magazines, and social media for generations.
