Go-To Garden Reference Guide

Madison, OH (October 2, 2014) – Garden-pedia: an A-to-Z Guide to Gardening Terms (St. Lynn’s Press, 2015) is a new kind of garden reference guide: an A-to-Z tool that cuts through confusing “hort-speak” terminology with simple explanations and high graphic appeal.
 
BOOK DESCRIPTION
Do you know the difference between hardpan and hardening-off? Between a native and a nativar? A cold frame and a cloche? Do you wish a book existed that explains in simple English what gardening terms mean so you can be a knowledgeable gardener? Veteran horticulturists Maria Zampini and Pamela Bennett have done just that!

Garden-pedia is written to fill the need for a clear, concise book of useful terms in a friendly, conversational style including the what, when, why and how of gardening. Over 300 of the most common terms are presented with entertaining sidebars, tips and color photos throughout.

This authoritative guide is destined to be the reference of choice for novice or experienced gardeners alike, master gardeners and green industry professionals everywhere. We are proud to announce part of the proceeds go to support The Ohio State University Extension Master Gardener Volunteer Program.

KEY POINTS

• Most garden dictionaries are too academic for the home gardener’s needs, have too few illustrations and make for dull, dry reading. Garden-pedia is unique in its conversational style and its photo- and graphics-rich format.
• Garden terms change with the times and can be confusing to the layman gardener. Garden-pedia is the most up-to-date reference on the market today.

TARGET AUDIENCE

• The 20-30 something new gardener who appreciates concise, visually appealing information.
• The experienced gardener who wants a handy, up-to-date reference guide.
• Green industry professionals including wholesale growers, retailers, landscape businesses and others.
• Master gardener volunteers and garden club members nationwide.
• Friends and relatives looking for the ideal gift book for the gardener in their lives.
