Dear Friends,

orderIng and Information:

Winter is breathing down our collective necks, and a cold blast it is, too. Short of a trip to Australia, cozying up with a book is the best way to keep warm while dreaming up plans for getting back into the garden in spring. Our latest offerings are bursting with color and inspiration. The New Low-Maintenance Garden offers timestrapped gardeners a way to design fantastic gardens and have the time to enjoy them, too. John Greenlee presents a compelling argument for replacing your front lawn with a meadow, which is more attractive, lower-maintenance, and better for the environment! Did your garden get more than its fair share of pests and diseases this year? What’s Wrong With My Plant? (And How Do I Fix It?) will help you diagnose and cure hundreds of plant maladies, and should be on the shelf of every gardener—including Australians. Regardless of your winter plans, we would like to thank you for your business in 2009, and we wish you (and your garden) all the best for 2010 and beyond.

The lessons of this timely book will help you replace guilt over undone garden chores with pleasure in your garden successes.

Down the Garden Path

the garden wit and wisdom of beverley nichols

Beverley Nichols

Edited by Roy C. Dicks

Compiled by Roy C. Dicks and drawn from fifteen of Nichols’ best titles, these carefully selected passages offer a tantalizing taste of Nichols’ humor, passion, and poetry.

Down the Garden Path has stood the test of time as one of the world’s best-loved and most-quoted gardening books.
