Gardeners may be familiar with the terms naturescaping, xerioscaping, invasive species, and native plant landscaping but what do they really mean? And where can you find out more information about them? MHL and the Merrimack Valley Library Consortium have robust gardening collections and events that can help to educate and guide you. Check out a selection of our books about native plants, invasive species, and naturescaping for New England.
