The

The "New York Times" 1000 Gardening Questions and Answers

by Leslie Land (Author), Linda Yang (Author), Dora Galitzui (Author)

Synopsis

Authoritative, accessible and engaging, here is a new reference from The New York Times, a comprehensive, nearly 700 page bible of all the garden news that's fit to print. Based on Gardeners Q&A the enormously popular syndicated column, 1000 GARDENING QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS is like a passionate conversation between gardeners and gardening experts. Every week readers send in their most vexing problems - how to divide perennials, prune raspberry canes, grow basil that really tastes like basil, get rid of earwigs, find long-lost varieties of flowers, keep honeysuckle under control - and every week, the authorities at the Times write a column full of answers.

Author Bio
Dora Galitzki, a former author of Gardener's Q&A, is the author of The Gardener's Essential Companion. Leslie Land, author of Gardeners' Q. & A., began writing for the Times's garden department in 1997. A former senior editor at Yankee Magazine, her articles also appear in The New York Times, Food & Wine, HG, Metropolitan Home, and Country Journal. She is the co-author of The 3,000 Mile Garden. Linda Yang is known for her garden columns in the New York Times, which were widely syndicated from 1979-1995. Both her articles and her photographs have been published in numerous home and garden magazines, and she is the author of three books other than The City Gardener's Handbook. Her friendly, wise, and authoritative writing comes from a genuine love of gardening and from firsthand experiences that include quite a bit of trial and more than one error. At present she tills one-fortieth of an acre of Manhattan, the area around the townhouse she shares with her husband.
