Named "best written" garden book in the country by the Garden Writer's Association, this collection of essays on garden values and over 117 treasured plants, is lively and sometimes garden-irreverent, sure to make you laugh out loud, and to read passages to others (even if it annoys them). It recalls plants that are shared, along with memories, and gives ample tips on growing and propagating them to keep them moving along. A special section on "yard art" is sure to embarrass and chagrin! This book often gets borrowed for good , becoming a passalong itself.

"Passalong Plants is a hoot and a holler. Pardon me, it's a worthy and eminently enjoyable contribution to American horticultural literature."
Allen Lacy, author and philosopher

"The heart of gardening is in the small-to-middle-sized yards of working people. And its soul is not in the fancy plants sold by mass marketers, but in traditional plants passed along from mother to daughter and friend to friend. This book breathes life, love, and joy into that fundamental truth, while having a ball with its eccentricities and idiosyncracies."

Let's Get Growing! This wildly-illustrated book has over 40 cool projects to make and grow - every single one tested and given "thumbs up" by kids.
Learn how things grow and make fun things - a sunflower house, a scarecrow, colorful tile stepping stones, flowering arranging in a potato, bird houses, your very own jungle, or even a worm box where worms can eat your garbage! Garden projects for all seasons, both indoors and out, have been made and tested by kids who helped with the easy-to-follow, step-by-step instructions. Also, lists of kid-suitable plants, from top kid garden experts from 11 regions, and web sites for more projects and great childrens' gardens to visit.

This exciting book just reached out and grabbed me - the best I've seen in over twenty years of working with kids and gardening.
