Over 42 newspapers have written articles about “Instant Container Gardens.” What's the buzz from this record-breaking media blitz? “This is the first time consumers have been able to do something special in a way that is easy and provides instant gratification.” --- Charlyne Varkonyi-Schaub, The South Florida Sun Sentinel “Side planting make it easy to get the lush look…Crawford's label instructions are crystal clear and easy to follow.” --- Holly Hayes, San Jose Mercury News “These new designs allowed us to produce huge displays of flowers in record time.” --- Nancy Szerlag, Detroit News “Easy Gardens for South Florida is a marvelous book loaded with suggestions for colorful, easy-maintenance gardens. I found all her observations to be correct and highly recommend this book.” --- Bob Haehle (coauthor of “Native Florida Plants” and “A Garden Diary”, host of “The Garden Show”, a garden columnist for the South Florida Sun Sentinel and a Tropical South regional reporter for Nationalgardening.com.) “Finally, a gardening book worth the paper it’s printed on. It’s one of the few books I’ve come across that’s relevant to gardeners here, well organized and full of good advice. Easy Gardens for South Florida is an excellent reference book that I am adding to my library.” --- Lennie Bennett, St. Petersburg Times. “Offers a wealth of information, plus plenty of photos to make plant identification easy.” --- Heather Graulich, Palm Beach Post. “Pamela Crawford has put together a tremendous amount of information in an easy-to-follow format. Her before and after pictures throughout the section on gardens will be an inspiration to anyone confronted with a barren - or simply boring - yard. Easy Gardens for South Florida is a book I wholeheartedly recommend, whether you’re a recent northern transplant or a seasoned Florida perennial.” --- Linda Ballou, Master Gardener Newsletter, Lee County Extension Service. “Who is this serial plant killer and why should we listen to her? Crawford spent 10 years testing every new plant she could get her hands on to determine which ones best survive the torrid heat and torrential rains of Florida. The ultimate survivors were put through maintenance trials so she could advise her readers how to keep them alive and happy,” --- Charlyne Varkonyi-Schaub, Home and Garden Editor, South Florida Sun Sentinel. “I am all for making things as easy as possible, especially when it comes to gardening. Maybe that is why I love Pamela Crawford’s book, Easy Gardens for South Florida, so much.” ---Marjorie VanderKruik, The Pine Island Eagle. |
