| Great all around book - A Garden Primer by Barbara Damrosch. I believe she was from Connecticut. It's the first book I reach for for everything from improving the soil to perennials to disease control. |

| Sunset publishes Northeastern Garden Book, edited by Anne Halpin, which I've found to be useful. (They also publish Sunset Northeastern Landscaping Book, edited by Ken Druse - which I don't have, but which is probably good ... Druse also has a book entitled, Natural Garden/Natural Shade which is just gorgeous). I've also gotten a lot of use out of Home Landscaping: Northeast Region : Including Southeast Canada (Home Landscaping) by Roger Holmes, Rita Buchanan I find myself turning to these books again and again. |
