The Pawling Garden Club Donates Gardening Books in Memory of Phyllis Hilda Scerebini

The Pawling Garden Club has generously donated eight books to The Pawling Library in memory of Phyllis Hilda Scerebini. The new books, listed below, cover a broad range of gardening subjects from basic plant care to radical landscape design to how to attract butterflies to your garden.  With all the green thumbs in Pawlng, gardening books are very popular here at the library, so these are a welcome addition to our collection that will likely see a lot of use. Below, you’ll find a list of the books donated by the garden club. You can click on the book’s title to see the book in our catalog, where you can check the status of the book, or put a hold on it. You can also call or stop in, and we’ll help you find the book you want. Thanks to the Garden Club and Phyllis Hilda Scerebini for the generous contribution to our community’s collection.
