There's something special about finding a great gardening book at your local library. 📚🌿
Welcome to Plant Lovers' Shelf, our new monthly series sharing books for people who love plants, flowers, and all things growing.
Each month, we'll feature one seasonal favorite, a few unexpected finds, and an invitation to share what's on your shelf.
Our first collection comes from Johnson County Library. Here's what caught our eye this November.
