Some books focus on specific plants and growing techniques associated with particular climate conditions. One great example is the line of Month-by-Month gardening books from Cool Springs Press. You can give your garden-loving friends all over the country a gardening book that targets what to do in the garden each month in their specific state. Cool Springs Press also has a companion line of state-by-state gardening guides that deliver locally relevant plant descriptions and horticulture tips.
So if you are searching for gifts for the gardeners in your life this holiday season, don't be afraid to think outside of the flower pot and get your knowledge-hungry gardener a handy gardening book with pretty pictures. Or you could just opt for the pictures, as in Stafford Cliff's striking 1000 Garden Ideas. Gardener's always love inspiring pictures of other people’s gardens.
