I know, deep breaths, it’s a bit overwhelming.
But what if I up the ante? What if I throw in 5 plants from my absolute favorite online purveyor of plants, Santa Rosa Gardens?
I know, dreams do come true.
So in addition to my awe inspiring book (which I will sign and personally inscribe), the winners (2 in total) will also receive the following 5 plants, all of which inspired the book:
I highly suggest clicking on each of the plant names above to see photos of these beauties.

If for some reason you have an issue leaving a comment, please send me an email at ongardener@yahoo.com. There have been issues for some of you lately and I’m still working with WordPress to address the issue.

I love Veronica and Monarda. Eupatorium nor Echinacea are my favorites, but I like these varieties much more than the usual ones.
I would be very willing to give the Helenium a chance…

Love your blog and look forward to reading your book. The plants would fit right in with my garden and coming with your recommendation they would be even more special.
Just bought some Veronica ‘Royal Candles’ last weekend on your recommendation!
I’m not sure if I should comment or not.
First of all, congratulations on the book! Yours was the very first gardening blog I discovered back when I was a beginning gardener and so it holds a special place in my heart. Your style, both of gardening and writing speak to my own (obsessive, neurotic – caught my eye right away :). I’m looking forward to seeing your book – whether I win or not it’s on my must-have list of gardening books. Santa Rosa is one of the best online nurseries; I’ve bought many wonderful plants from them on the past. What an exciting bonus! Thanks for all the years of pleasure you’ve given your fellow gardeners.
I enjoy reading your blogs as it inspires me to look at my yard in a different way. I am not an artist as I have trouble with stick figures. Seeing pictures and reading your experience in the yard it makes me feel like I can be Michael Angelo. keep writing, I enjoy your candid style.
Congratulations on your book! I hope it does really well for you! I am a fan of yours. The plants you have chosen are winners too! Thank you for the chance to win.
Wow! What a great gift! I would love to see your new book and of course the plants look great too! Thanks!
I’m a Jersey Gardner and your blog has truly inspired me. I live in an area with no fences, lots of deer, large trees, poor soil and yet I persist! Would love to read your fabulous book!
Best of luck to you.

John,
Terrific book, which I’ve already purchased through Amazon. I love your blog with its incredible photos and extremely useful and practical advice. But most of all I love your (wiseguy) attitude.
Cheers,
