The Cardoon, scientifically known as Cynara cardunculus, is a striking perennial plant that enriches gardens with its silver-green, deeply serrated foliage reminiscent of artichoke leaves. This Mediterranean native is not only valued for its ornamental beauty but also for its culinary history. Its purple thistle-like flowers are a magnet for pollinators, enhancing garden biodiversity.

This resilient and hardy plant, with its sturdy root system, establishes well in varied weather conditions, making it suitable for gardeners at all experience levels. The Cardoon is renowned for its architectural beauty, with its enchanting purple-blue flowers and shimmering silvery leaves, reaching notable heights. Occasionally, it may produce delicate white blooms, but its silvery foliage remains the showstopper.

As acclaimed horticulturist Graham Stuart Thomas noted, the Cardoon is a standout among silver-leafed plants. However, it requires careful management due to its vigorous growth. Ideal for spring planting in warm, sunny, and sheltered locations, it needs ample space to reach its full size of up to 5 feet tall and 2 feet in width.

This gorgeous MG novel in verse is a MUST READ!
Format: Hardcover, Format: Hardcover
Words cannot adequately express how much Jordanian-American author Jasmine Warga’s novel “Other Words for Home” means to me. Growing up, I never read stories about people like me or families like my own because they simply didn’t exist. Books with Arab and/or Arab-American characters, being wholly human, navigating issues of identity and belonging, interrogating what “home” means were never written. Too bad. I’m elated that that’s changing, though, and that there are Arab-Americans who are writing these stories *with such immense skill and heart.* This is the first middle grade novel I’ve read in literally decades and it just encouraged me to order many more. It is poetic and hopeful and so thoughtfully written. I can barely remember the last time I loved a character as much as I love brave and precious Jude. I cried and cheered many times along this journey. Seriously, if you work with middle graders, have middle graders, or are a lover of children’s literature yourself—YOU MUST check out this gorgeous novel in verse. The only downside (and it's a big one) is that it ends.

One of the best books I have read this year!
Format: Hardcover
This is a beautiful novel-in-verse that will stay with me for a very long time. It is a must read for anyone middle grade or older. What I loved: - The Poetry- intriguing similes and metaphors, emotions captured on the page, powerful language - The Perspective- I appreciated that the protagonist was not from Aleppo, but from a vacation town on the sea in Syria. This shows a different perspective than I have seen, but one that is equally as important. Jude and her mother then come to stay with her uncle in America, and again, the perspective was different than other "refugee" stories but equally powerful. - The People- Jude is protagonist to cheer for, however, there are so many dynamic, diverse characters in this story. #LitReviewCrew

Timely, Necessary & Important
Format: Hardcover
Oh, I absolutely adored Jasmine Warga’s Other Words for Home, a moving story told in verse of a Syrian girl and her mother fleeing from their home in their war torn country. It’s impossible not to feel empathetic towards the family as they are split up over the turmoil. I was immersed in Jude’s thoughts, feelings, and experiences in America as it was so poetically and honestly written. The Arabic proverbs referred to in the story were so beautiful and poignant, enhancing an already authentic, necessary and emotional look into the life of immigrants. This novel should be in every school library as it unabashedly encourages the need for kindness and understanding for all...important messages we should always be teaching and promoting...and students . I love having and supporting students like Jude in my class as they beam with pride learning and overcoming challenges—it warms my heart when they feel accepted and loved as they should.

Necessary, Poignant, Powerful, Beautiful
Format: Hardcover
I bought this book for myself, but would recommend it for anyone 11+. It is a beautiful, hopeful story about a girl growing up between worlds, honoring her heritage and parents' culture while embracing her new community and breaking out into her own wonderful self. It touches on really important themes about conflict, violence, identity, hate crimes, family tensions, growing up, and more, but all with grace, honesty, and tenderness. This would be an amazing conversation starter for teens and preteens. I am not a refugee, but I grew up crossing cultures, and this story brought me to tears in all the best ways. I cannot recommend it enough!
