On Thursday, March 6th, at 7:30pm I will be giving a slide presentation and lecture for the Holden Garden Club. The lecture is based on my book, Oh Garden of Fresh Possibilities!, which I both wrote and illustrated.
Now is the perfect time of year to read Oh Garden, as we dream of spring awakenings and all the garden’s possibilities!
See the Events page of my website for upcoming lectures and film screenings open to the public.
Addendum to the post ~
Brian M. O’Connor, “happy me” asks in the comment section, “what beach or dock is Holden near?”
My response:
Hi Brian,
How you you? How is your beautiful daughter Amelia?
I am so blessed that Oh Garden has sold all around the country, as well as in Canada and England, and continues to do so. It has legs for a reason. The information within its pages continues to have relevance and inform. My book is primarily about garden design, with a tremendous amount of information about habitat gardening; how to create a welcoming haven for people, butterflies, and songbirds; how to create a fragrant garden, and beautiful Gloucester gives it a sense of place. I wrote Oh Garden for my children, and primarily for young families just starting out with a garden, and for people who want a new look to their garden, to try something new and give them a fresh way of thinking about their existing garden.
One reason I chose my publisher, David R. Godine, is because he has a fabulous backlist catalogue; books don’t end up in the remand pile, which is the fate of most non-self published books today if they aren’t number one best sellers.
Thanks so much Brian for the question!
Best wishes to you and your family.
