| Gardening 'Round Atlanta (for Atlantans), Southern Gardeners book of lists, anything by Allen Armitage - he writes general books but always says how things do in Athens for him. All books by Elizabeth Lawrence, Southern Herb Gardening by Madeline Hill. And many, many more! |
|
| I have Tough Plants for Southern Gardens by Felder Rushing. Has been my favorite, pictures and these are proven plants. |
|
| The Southern Gardener's Book of Lists Month by Month Gardening in the South: What to do and When to do It. (by Hastings?) I'm down in the basement and not near my books -- but I think a title search will find these for you! As a transplant, the Month by Month book has been fantastic! |

| _The Southern Living Garden Book_ |

| I really like Passalong Plants by Steve Bender and Felder Rushing. It's informative and funny :) |
|
| One of the best and most practical book on gardening in the South that I have read is: "Gardening in the Humid South (Paperback) Can be found on Amazon. It is the first book that I have read that really acknowledges the differences between most garden books written by authors outside of the South and what it's really like here. |
