Native plants are adapted to grow where YOU live !
That means that they "know" how to survive and thrive on their own. And when you think about it… that stands to reason, doesn't it. After all, they wouldn’t be your Native Plants if they didn’t
know how to flourish where you live! But that's just the beginning.
Thank
you very much for letting me review your book. I really
enjoyed it. I like your approach. Mine is similar and after reading
your book, it sounds like I’m working harder than I need to. … The
explanations of the 6 basic habitats are very, very
helpful. I don’t think I’ve
seen it explained so clearly.

I needed a title
I wrote a book to help you get started
with Native Plant Gardening. But what to
call it? I wrestled with that trying to come up with the perfect
title. So I asked my wife ...
Here's what she came up with. Your garden should make
you feel "comfortable" like you're at home
relaxing with your shoes off.
It shouldn't
make you feel like you better get out there
and get to work, so the garden should be
OK when you are feeling "lazy" and just want
to enjoy it instead of laboring over it.
Put the two together and you get my book title -
--- The Comfortable Lazy Garden ---
101
pages guide you In Seven
Easy Steps to YOUR comfortable lazy garden!
What an awesome book! I loved it and it is just what
beginner’s need easy, concise, and informational. I love
the title. As a self proclaimed lazy gardener
I can relate to it.
The book takes all the intimidation
factors out of gardening such having large
pieces of power equipment to work the soil, lots of money
for plants, lots of time for weeding, lots
of time for watering (money too for some) and giving people the OK
to use native plants in their gardens.
I think people don’t realize that
some of the plants they see everyday in gardens
everywhere, are natives. Your book gives people alternatives, and
the ability to develop their own style, while keeping them
interested by using plants that will live and thrive
on neglect.

I think your book will be
an excellent reference for beginning
gardeners. I found it very accessible and easy
to read. I liked your conversational
style toward the reader and found
your examples and descriptions to
be quite vivid. You let the reader
know that there is a world of information out there without
intimidating lists of instructions and requirements. I also
appreciated that your tone encourages gardeners to use native
plants without implying that the garden full of non-natives
is "bad" or morally wrong. I have seen a lot of that and I
personally find it to be very discouraging. I like your framework
of easy-to-follow steps and your reassurances that gardening
is easy and fun.

Make these worries a thing of the past!
Worried about my soil. Do I need
to add stuff to it?
-
Constantly watering to keep my plants
alive. Is there a secret to this?
-
Can't figure out which fertilizer is right
and how much to use.
-
Re-planting in the summer to replace my
dead plants.
-
Buying new seeds and plants every year.
-
Wondering where that volunteer
plant in my garden came from. Should I pluck it?
-
Trying to keep every leaf green and every
plant alive and healthy. Is this a losing proposition?
-
Worried about pests and diseases. What
do I need to know?
I read your book today and enjoyed
it very much, you have some very good ideas about
garden planning and selection of plants. Also
a very good list of sites to help a gardener learn more if
he so desires. All in all, I think your book is very good and
I would recommend it, especially for someone new to native
plant gardening, or even just a new gardener.

-- A Side Note to the experienced
gardeners in the audience --
As an expert, you might get even more out of "The
Comfortable Lazy Garden" than a less experienced gardener.
With over 130
clickable links to
native plant gardening and landscaping resources, even
if you are an expert gardener, you will discover a secret
or two to pique your interest.
Your links and lists are
fantastic, and the fact that you pull no punches
with the invasives is great. I think this is especially
important as more people to start to see the
value of natives. I think your book will become
a very valuable resource to those who have
no experience with natives. They will probably
go into shock when they find out how easy gardening
really can be.
