No Thorns, Please


NPR recently talked to Aurelia C Scott about her new book Otherwise Normal People: Inside the Thorny World of Competitive Rose Gardening. Learn the tips and tricks of the flower world's most devoted growers. (Some, for example, actually place a shovel beside an underperforming bush, as a threat.) There's also an excerpt from Scott's book, to whet your appetite.

And you can find out even more here in our store on July 1, when Scott herself will be here for a reading. The stories are great, and the Q&A will be worth the trip, I'm sure. So bring your favorite flower stories and enjoy.--David E
