...on a little island in Maine?
We still spend our summers on a little island in Maine. Lest you think I am on "holiday" there, I will give you a brief synopsis of some of my projects.
After my book tour for
Trowel & Error, I was
honored to be asked to do a chapter on butterfly gardening with
children for The
Butterfly Gardener's Guide (Brooklyn Botanic Garden, 2003).
Their series of books are a treasure and a must on every gardener's
book shelf.
In June 2003, I was an Artist-in-Residence at Leila Arboretum, Battle Creek, Michigan, for their Children's Garden Grand Opening.
I
added new text, new art, and lots of how-to boxed information
to a collection of my regular "Heart's Ease" columns
from Country Living GARDENER.
The book, A
Blessing of ToadsA Gardener's Guide to Living with Nature,
was released in a hard bound edition in June 2004.
I continue to do my
"Heart's Ease" column and art work for Country
Living GARDENER, but sadly, the magazine will be available
on newsstands only (not by subscription) each Spring and Summer,
the busiest gardening seasons. Nancy Soriano, the editor of Country Living, has
asked me to do some special writing for her that will appear in
Country Living, Country Living Holidays and some
other Country Living Special Interest Publications.
