Jo Ann Gardner, a highly respected horticulturist, has published seven books on botanical subjects. Her articles have appeared in many pub-lications in the U.S. and Canada. She writes a regular column for Farming Magazine: People, Land, Community. A selection of her books will be for sale and signing at this event.
