Libraries are a traditional source of information on gardening, and Pennsylvania has the distinction of having the oldest horticultural library in the country in the form of the PHS McLean Horticultural Library. Serving the Pennsylvania Horticultural Society (PHS) and the gardening public, the library has a selection of 15,000 books, as well as DVDs on gardening, botany, urban greening, and plant care. Its compilation includes rare gardening books, catalogs on seeds and nurseries, and the PHS archives.
The library now also provides thousands of eBooks that are available for digital borrowing, made possible through a consortium with the Mt. Cuba Center and Longwood Gardens. The library hosts tours and a children's story time, and its gallery space showcases changing exhibits curated by the library staff. For more information about the library, visit www.phsonline.org.
