Professionals Rave About Garden-pedia<\/h3>\n

A little over a year on the market, Garden-pedia is firmly established as the easy-to-read reference for serious horticultural hobbyists and new professionals alike.
\nGardening, landscape, and design professionals weigh in:
\n“This cool, user-friendly garden dictionary will quickly become your go-to guide! Bravo to veteran plantswomen Maria and Pam for writing this fun, informative, concise book.” – Tracy DiSabato-Aust, best-selling author and garden communicator<\/em>
\n“She (Maria) has finally solved the problem by writing, with horticulturist Pamela Bennett, ‘Garden-pedia: An A-to-Z Guide to Gardening Terms’ (St. Lynn’s Press), which codifies a lot of the terminology that new and veteran gardeners use.” – William Hageman, Chicago Tribune<\/em>
\n“When there are more than a dozen ‘how-to-garden’ type books out there, it seems to me that gardening has become way too complicated for our friends and daughters. Gardening should be enjoyable, therapeutic and creative, not overwhelming. Garden-pedia does something for me that most other books do not; it takes the intimidation out of this calming, joyous hobby as well as simplifies the language of plant science and makes us a little smarter. All books should be as useful, fun and functional. I would not be without this book.” – Dr. Allan M. Armitage, author, App developer, speaker and coiner of \u201cnativar\u201d and \u201c55-mile per hour plant.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n

Another Horticultural Reference Guide?<\/h3>\n

Sure, there are many garden-type encyclopedias, but Garden-pedia is the only one geared toward horticultural enthusiasts, green industry employees, and botanical garden staff who haven\u2019t earned horticultural certifications or degrees. Garden-pedia explains, in simple English, commonly-used gardening terms. It fills the need for a clear, concise book of useful terms in a friendly, conversational style including the what, when, why and how of gardening.
\nOver 300 of the most common terms are presented with entertaining sidebars, tips and color photos throughout.
\nGarden-pedia is available for wholesale purchase through St. Lynn\u2019s Press. Consumers can purchase via www.stlynnspress.com<\/a>, on Amazon, and fine booksellers as well as personalized and autographed copies on the UpShootHort shop on Etsy<\/a>.
