\"allan\"<\/a>Madison, OH (March 3, 2015) –<\/strong> It\u2019s Not Just About the Hat\u00a0\u2013 The Unlikely Journey of a Plantsman<\/strong> (2015)<\/strong>. Dr. Allan Armitage\u2013<\/strong>author of over a dozen books, a perennial and annual mobile app, teacher, lecturer and one of the most respected plant authorities in the green industry\u2013<\/strong>has penned his memoirs.\u00a0His stories depict\u00a0his unlikely trajectory as a shy boy from a quiet\u00a0neighborhood in Montreal to a world-renowned plantsman.<\/p>\n

Of his memoirs, Dr. Armitage says, “I had no intention of writing about myself. I could not imagine anything more boring or presumptuous. However, after weaving many tales about my family and background through plant talks and stories, people kept asking, ‘How did you get here from there?’ so I finally decided to write a few things down. I am not a politician, a rock star or a famous athlete. I cannot enthrall you with drugs, sex or money, just a few stories that most of us can probably relate to.”<\/p>\n

This book exemplifies everything you have come to expect from one of the most engaging storytellers today. From digging graves to braving North Atlantic storms, Dr. A\u2019s adventurous life is revealed like an unfurling bloom\u2013each petal just a little wilder than the one before.<\/p>\n

WHAT DOES THE PERENNIAL DIVA SAY?<\/strong>
\"Stephanie<\/a>“How does someone like Allan begin his journey to green stardom? We all travel many different paths to later emerge as our more mature selves. In life one has choices and sometimes we cannot see the end point. In this cheeky autobiography, Allan tells the true story of all his trials and tribulations. An iconic figure does not just emerge. They are molded by all of the different experiences in their lives. I think all of you who know Allan or who have his many books or his former students, or those who loved his presentations will want to buy this unique book. The book certainly tells it like Allan sees it!”
