Northshire Bookstore ReviewReviewed By... Heather BellancaDon't be fooled by the dopey cover - these entertaining, informative tales will feed the ever-inquisitive/acquisitive gardener's mind & soul. Enjoy the Irma Bombeck-esque, self-deprecating humor (if you can), ignore the shameless name-dropping and join the adventures of this (well-known in golf circles) writer on his trips to the Philadelphia & Chelsea flower shows, remote plant-collecting expeditions, an... read more>>>

Northshire Bookstore ReviewReviewed By... Francesca GeorgeA clear and beautifully articulated novel. It leaps through and beyond various genres, immersing the reader with each change.

historical settings, no action needed. I hope you'll read the books I
recommended - they're here because I loved them!
