A home gardener's library includes gardening books and journals to aid the residential gardener in planning, planting, harvesting, and maintaining a garden around the home. Gardening books encompass a variety of subjects from garden design, vegetable gardens, perennial gardens, to shade gardens. Every plant genus or category of plants may also be covered including roses, clematis, bulbs, hellebores, and hydrangeas. The Internet has expanded and enhanced the availability of gardening resources.
