The American Horticultural Society is proud to announce that we are publishing two essential gardening guides with Cool Spring Press in early 2025: American Horticultural Society Essential Guide to Organic Vegetable Gardening and American Horticultural Society Essential Guide to Perennial Gardening. These guides will be the first new books from the AHS in over two decades and we could not be more excited to share with you our paperback guidebooks. The books are currently available for pre-order through our Publisher, Cool Springs Press, below.

AHS Essential Guide to Organic Vegetable Gardening will be released on January 7th and offers indispensable insight into growing a modern edible garden, at home. This book is meant to inform at-home gardeners across the country, and is applicable for all horticultural regions. The guide begins with an overview of the history of vegetable gardening in North American from indigenous cultures up to today’s biodiversity-nurturing growers. The AHS Essential Guide to Organic Vegetable Gardening provides all the necessary information for cultivating and finding success with an at-home vegetable garden.

The second book, AHS Essential Guide to Perennial Gardening, will be released on February 4th. This guide offers a comprehensive and modern guide to cultivating and caring for perennial plants, including many native to North America. Our manual is designed to equip gardeners with knowledge and tips to successfully grow perennials with today’s ever-changing gardening challenges. This book takes a modern approach to perennial gardening by focusing on the garden as an ecosystem that depends on natural resiliency over human interference.
