After the shock of holding the book in my hands wore off—and yes, it was a shock, I had no idea it was coming yesterday—I had fun taking a couple of reenactment photos if you will. Cause I'm a dork and I'm not afraid to let you know.
This "sneak peak" might give you the idea the book is all about my garden, but it's not, not by a long shot. I write about two public gardens, ten private, a zoo and two privately owned company gardens—as well as plenty of general garden topics and plant recommendations that include lots of photos from other gardens.
So when will the book be on the shelves and (most importantly these days) shipping from online retailers? January 5th, 2021. In the meantime if you'd like to get updates please follow my @fearlessgardening Instagram page or Fearless Gardening on Facebook—and of course I would be remiss to not mention the book is available preorder from several book sellers, more info here. Whew!

What a fabulous surprise. So nice to see all your hard work arrive in the actual hard copy.
ReplyDeleteSuch a surprise, and the timing was perfect to take my mind off our troubles.
DeleteWell, that surprise would make you forget about the elections' chaos for a minute or two! Great fun, I love the reenactment photos!
ReplyDeleteI was pretty despondent on election night. Much improved Thursday morning and as the saying goes, Good Things Come to Those Who Wait.
And we wait...
DeleteI'm so excited for you, Loree! I look forward to having my very own copy in January.

ReplyDeleteThe cotinus? (Cotinus coggygria 'Royal Purple'_ I bought it for the dark foliage and had no idea it had great fall color too!
