TIL a random library book on local plants changed my whole garden plan

I was just looking for a quiet spot in the downtown library last month and pulled a book called 'Native Flora of the Valley' off a bottom shelf. I ended up redoing my backyard with only plants from that book, and everything's thriving now. Has anyone else found a game changer in the most unexpected place?

Native Flora of the Valley" sounds like a total lucky find.

Used to think it was boring honestly. Totally changed my mind after seeing it.

Honestly thought it would just be pictures of weeds before I opened it. The way they show how the plants change with the seasons totally got me, especially the spring section. Makes you look at the side of the road totally differently now.
