First it was bread baking, now it's gardening, as the coronavirus pandemic sets off a global gardening boom. Experts say that what drives people to garden "may not be the fear of hunger so much as hunger for physical contact, hope for nature’s resilience and a longing to engage in work that is real." Whatever your reasons for exercising your green thumb, we can help with gardening resources in our e-library. . . . . . #BucksCountyFreeLibrary #BucksCounty #Bensalem #Doylestown #Langhorne #Levittown #Perkasie #Quakertown #Yardley
