      By Billinghurst, Jane, 1958-
       2011., Lyons Press Call No: 712 B598a   Edition: 1st Lyons Press ed.    Availability:1 of 1     At Your Library Summary Note: Throughout history, people in all parts of the world have created gardens. What makes us so passionate about gardens, and what do they represent? This fabulous collection of prose and images explores gardens from many angles, celebrating their sensual, spiritual, aesthetic, social, and even political dimensions. In chapters such as "Shades of Paradise," "Statements and Style," "Gardens for Body and Soul," "Gardeners Rampant," and "Purely for Pleasure," writers from around the world evoke the garden in its many incarnations, sometimes lightheartedly, sometimes wittily, sometimes in regret or sorrow. Whether as a restorative retreat, a way to survive, a social showpiece, a bower filled with ghosts, or simply a lovely excuse to spend time outdoors, The Armchair Book of Gardens portrays the endless variety of ways humans have carved spots for themselves in the natural world. An inspiring array of full-colour historical and contemporary images accompanies the text.

      By Frey, Kate, 1960-  LeBuhn, Gretchen, 1961-
       2016., Ten Speed Press Call No: 595.799 F893b   Edition: First edition.    Availability:1 of 1     At Your Library Summary Note: There are many benefits to having a bee garden, both personal and global. Not only are bee gardens gorgeous, they are organic, pesticide-free, and ecologically sustainable. For fruit and vegetable gardeners, inviting nature's most productive pollinator into the yard can provide an impressive increase in yields. And finally, bee gardens help fight the much-publicized decline in bee population. In The Bee-Friendly Garden, award-winning garden designer Kate Frey and bee expert Gretchen LeBuhn provide everything readers need, from "super blooming" flowers and planting basics, to garden plans and plants to avoid. Illustrated with spectacular full-color photos, the book debunks myths about bees, explains seasonal flower progression, and provides how-to instructions for nest boxes and water features.

      By Catton, Eleanor, 1985-
       2023., Adult, McClelland & Stewart Call No: MYS Fic Cat    Availability:0 of 1     At Your Library Summary Note: Five years ago, Mira Bunting founded a guerrilla gardening group: Birnam Wood. An undeclared, unregulated, sometimes-criminal, sometimes-philanthropic gathering of friends, this activist collective plants crops wherever no one will notice: on the sides of roads, in forgotten parks, and neglected backyards. For years, the group has struggled to break even. Then Mira stumbles on an answer, a way to finally set the group up for the long term: a landslide has closed New Zealand's Korowai Pass, cutting off the town of Thorndike. Natural disaster has created an opportunity, a sizable farm seemingly abandoned. But Mira is not the only one interested in Thorndike. Robert Lemoine, the enigmatic American billionaire, has snatched it up to build his end-times bunker - or so he tells Mira when he catches her on the property. Intrigued by Mira, Birnam Wood, and their entrepreneurial spirit, he suggests they work this land. But can they trust him? And, as their ideals and ideologies are tested, can they trust each other? A gripping psychological thriller from the Booker Prize-winning author of The Luminaries, Birnam Wood is Shakespearean in its wit, drama, and immersion in character. A brilliantly constructed consideration of intentions, actions, and consequences, it is an unflinching examination of the human impulse to ensure our own survival.
