As gardening becomes more popular, books about gardening have exploded onto the market. Choosing one can be a challenge. While your local big-box bookstore probably has several beautiful choices, be sure to look for books that address gardening in Florida, or at least in the South. The UF/IFAS Extension book store has many books on Florida gardening, written by experts and backed with scientific research. And don't foget your public library!
