Becky Homan not only is an MLNA member and a St. Louis Master Gardener, but she's also the author of a new book called “Missouri Gardener’s Companion, an Insider’s Guide to Gardening in the Show-Me State.” It's part of a new state-by-state series of gardening books by the Connecticut-based Globe Pequot Press, the largest publisher of regional travel in the United States, with an exceptional concentration on outdoor recreation -- exactly, says Becky, what home gardening should be about! Watch MLNA blog for the upcoming book review!
The publisher solicited the following book-jacket reviews for her "Missouri Gardener's Companion":“This is a great go-to book for every gardener in the state. It is ideal for the beginner and for those of us who need to brush up on our gardening information from time to time. Becky's easy-to-read style and thorough listing of resources make it a superb guide.”--P. Allen Smith,
“Becky’s knowledge and gardening connections make this an enjoyable and invaluable resource for all Missouri Gardeners—from novice to master gardeners.”—Eric Tschanz, president and executive director, Powell Gardens.
So far, her first first three book signings are on:-- Saturday, April 19, from 10 a.m. to 1 p.m., at the Missouri Botanical Garden (www.mobot.org) in the Garden Gate Shop, 4344 Shaw Boulevard, 63110, during the St. Louis Herb Society's popular, annual herb sale.-- Saturday, May 3, from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m., at Powell Gardens (www.powellgardens.org), 1609 N.W.
