Gardening at the Shore
A new book written by GCNJ members
The Garden Club of Long Beach Island has published a book about gardening titled, Gardening at the Shore. The book was the creation of a number of Garden Club members who felt strongly that our special island needed to be rescued from environmentally unsound gardening practices. With the current rate of construction, landscaping properties become an important issue. The book handles the many problems that affect the unique conditions of a barrier island. To guide the gardener through living with storms, wind, salt, sand, flooding, and drought, there are chapters that range from wind breaks to creating healthy soil, stressing sound practices that will not contribute to pollution of our beautiful waters. The book is illustrated with appropriate art work and stunning photography and concludes with a calendar of month-by-month gardening tasks. To order a copy of the book, send a check for $15.00 plus $5.00 (S&H) to: The Garden Club of LBI, P. O. Box 344, Ship Bottom, NJ 08008.
