Maine Gardening books

17 years ago

Hi - Our daughter has just moved to Cape Elizabeth, Maine from Dallas and wants to start a garden. Are there any good books on gardening in Maine? Any other excellent resources (besides this forum)?

BTW - My wife and I, both retired, are looking for a nice town in southern Maine to move to.

Hi Waker,

We discussed books in the New to Maine!! message thread, among others.

A good place to start finding info about Maine is the Maine.gov website.

We extend our sincere welcome to your daughter and to you to our fair state.

Eliot Coleman and Barbara Damrosch have excellent books. I've included a link to their website below.

Here is a link that might be useful: Four Season Farm
