There may be snow on the ground but take it from me March will follow February and spring will be here before you know it! So, get in the mood with this Get Ready for Springtime basket from Rosemary Harris.  Garden gloves, handmilled soaps, a floral notebook (to make your garden lists) and while you're waiting for it to warm up - a signed copy of SLUGFEST, a Dirty Business Mystery featuring Paula Holliday at a legendary flower show where more than just the plants are dying.
