This book isn't in database but I'm guessing the Shetland Library has it.....Because I'm a gardener, when I travel, I'm always interested in seeing how and what other gardeners are growing. Since I'm not going to see in person this year, I decided to find a book about gardening in Shetland. ⬇️

Crinoline_Laphroaig According to Google there doesn't appear to be much choice. I found and ordered this used one from Amazon. According to the Introduction this book, published in 1976, is the first garden book specifically about Shetland.

While it maybe old, it has a wealth of information covering most all the basics. And it has one of my favorite things a Month by Month List of What to Do in the Garden. ⬇️

Crinoline_Laphroaig And the most important thing to know about gardening in Shetland? Shelter - "Where none exists, it must be made." Shelter from the winds, the sheep, and the rabbits. ??‍?
