In the quiet corners of Indiana, where winter casts its icy spell, a gardener finds solace in the warmth of imagination. As the chill wind howls outside, the seasoned cultivator retreats indoors to a haven of dreams—the seed catalog. In these hallowed pages, the promise of spring is sown, and the joy of planning a garden blossoms in the heart.

Mary Ellen keeps putting in my stocking tape measures which I have never used in my life. Lately, I have also been getting “environmental” gifts like organic straws and soap.

The following items are available at the Hancock County Public Library, 900 W. McKenzie Road. Descriptions are provided by the publisher, unless otherwise noted. For more information on the library’s collection or to reserve a title, visit hcplibrary.org.
