For the artistic, bookish gardener

Isn't this neat? The Portland Public Library in Maine asked artists to make something out of several old and underutilized books. This was Walt Whitman's "Leaves of Grass," recycled into "Field of Greens," by artist Susan Winn. Read about it in The New York Times.

Even more fun: Many of these works of art can be borrowed from the library. I think fellow garden blogger, Bookish Gardener, should have this one!
