Can anybody suggest a good gardening gift? Or a company I could have a
look into?

Kate:
I have a suggestion for the gardener in your life who already has just
about every gardening tool, etc. My new novel, TIME IN A GARDEN, has
been very well received by gardeners--it ranked second in paperback
sales in Northern Michigan, for example.

It is laced with gardening wit and wisdom. It tells the story of a
group of senior citizens who band together to plant a community garden
in an attempt to revive their dying rural town. In the process,
gardening becomes a metaphor for the changes that all experience as we
advance in years. The gardening crew grows together as they experience
love and loss.

The novel is available from amazon.com, barnes and noble and lulu.com.
You can read an excerpt at these sites and learn more about my
publications.

TIME IN A GARDEN is a very different kind of gift for a gardener. I
know it will be appreciated and received as a thoughtful and loving
gift. Thanks for reading.
