From the Ground Up

I recently read another true story about a beginning gardener's experience. The book, From the Ground Up; The Story of a First Garden written by Amy Stewart chronicles her garden experience while living in the beach town of Santa Cruz, CA. I loved hearing about her trips to the local nursery (she must have spent a small fortune there) , her worm composting and her new found strength from all the lifting and work she was doing.

And her husband Scott Brown is co-founder and editor of "Fine Books and Collections Magazine" and owns an antiquarian book store, "Eureka Books" in where else but Eureka, California.

Her most recent book is, the New York Times bestselling Flower Confidential: The Good, the Bad, and the Beautiful in the Business of Flowers.
