I've been editing GreenPrints, "The Weeder's Digest," for over 18 years. After years of reading and publishing the absolute best personal garden writing—the wisest and wittiest words from all over the country—I've become an authority on garden writing. I've seen the best, the worst, and the in-between. I've learned which books will move you to tears . . . tears of tenderness and tears of laughter. I know what books will really make your heart sing . . . or your mind think.
A lot of these garden writing classics, old and new, are hard to find, so I've started making them available for gardeners like you. I don''t sell books I don't like or even ones I feel lukewarm about—only my personal favorites. Every one shares a prized place in my (over-sized) gardening bookcase. I've given copies to friends many times over. These are the books I pull down whenever I need a lift for my own gardening spirits. They are definitely Top of the Line, Pick of the Crop, "Best of Show"!
They are the best personal garden reads of all ... GreenPrints Books!
