All garden clubs purchase this book. The groups pepper each meeting with a poem from "These Blooming Friends" on an overhead projector and a fun reading of the amusing creations herein. It is a cherished tradition for so many. If your gathering doesn't do this, then you can start it yourself. It will inspire everyone to work together to plant a community garden or care for a public green space. The best garden clubs take advantage of this resource for joy. Flower shops use this repository also.
