Janice is a friend of mine and a fellow Master Gardener...I saw the working proof of this book and am running down to Borders tomorrow to pick one up when she has the signing... Look for it...it is terrific!!! Talk about TROPICAL GARDENING!!!!!

"Container Gardening in Hawaii: How to Grow Paradise in a Pot" has been selling out in bookstores, even in Costco stores, across the state. It's been gettingsome great reviews, too: "(Crowl) gives step-by-step, thorough explanations oneverything from choosing the right kind of pot tounderstanding growing conditions. Even a black thumbwill be able to use her handy charts, too, with plantslisted by Hawaiian name as well as botanical name."--Honolulu Magazine "This how-to, do-it- yourself book gently guides andencourages the reader to create fun, practical andbeautiful plant life anywhere…Crowl thoroughlyexplores container gardening in loving detail."--Big Island Weekly "This comprehensive book covers both ornamental andedible plants, containers of all types, care ofcontainerized plants, native Hawaiian plants and alist of resources. It is delightfully enhanced bynumerous and beautiful photographs."--Virginia Easton Smith, UH Cooperative ExtensionService "Crowl fills in the gaps."--West Hawaii Today "It’s subtle, but there’s humor in there. Like theBeatles White Album."--Janice’s brother, Bill I sincerely appreciate all the wonderful support HIMGA members have given me -- a big MAHALO to you! Your comrade in deeds and weeds, Janice Crowl

You want me to get a signed copy for you tomorrow and you can pick it up when you come thru???

Anyone else want one? They are about $17 and I could mail them in a flat rate envelope. Let me know.

Carol - sure! That would be outstanding! My collection of gardening books is nearly as large as my collection of plants...but this one sounds special, if you know what I mean. Epecially since I do all my (or nearly all), planting in containers!

I love tropicals, but living in zone 5 it scares me to death to try them because all I can think about is "how am I going to get this beauty through the winter?". Could you get me one too? Send me a D-Mail on what I need to do. :^)
