If you visit the library this month, be sure to find the East Hampton Belltown Garden Club display with Bonnie's straw hat worn on the Martha Stewart Show in March--
and a wonderful display of books on gardens and gardening, plant selection, rose culture, native plants, rain gardens, floral arranging, and raising vegetables --to name just a few of the topics included.
Many of the titles were recently purchased from recommendations made by Belltown Garden Club members at the January 2011 meeting and book discussion. Look inside "our favorites" and see a special bookplate that commemorates our donation to the public library. Many thanks to Sue Berescik and her staff for helping us encourage gardening and the enjoyment of plants in our community.
Just a note of interest: The branches on display are from the Bradford pear tree in the traffic triangle in the East Hampton village center. They had fallen during the winter and were found after the snow melted. With a little encouragement, they have actually bloomed! It must be Spring.
