Nan Ondra wins AHS Book Award
Despite these losses and setbacks, like King Sisyphus, gardeners forever keep rolling that rock up the hill, convinced we are progressing toward the day it will stay in place up there and not roll back on us, the day our gardens will be just as we want them.

This is a well-deserved award … off to leave congratulations.
She’s certainly a wonderful writer and very deserving of the award. Good for her! We’ve been checking her books out of the library..they seem to have a lot! Will look for this one. I’m off to congratulate her.
Have a happy Easter Kathy. This weather sure doesn’t feel very springy! Ugh!
That is great news. I love that book, it has been such an inspiration.
