Pre-Orders have begun for The Right-Size Flower Garden

The presses are rolling and pre-orders have begun! My new book, The Right-Size Flower Garden: Simplify Your Outdoor Space with Smart Design Solutions and Plant Choices, is now available for pre-order on Amazon.com. The hardcover, 192-page, four-color book retails for $18.95. The book is scheduled to be available on February 16, 2015, if not sooner. Amazon is offering a special pre-order price of $16.04 (does not include shipping).  I’m also offering a special price on my web site of only $24, which includes a signed copy, shipping and handling.

Here is how the book is described on Amazon:

Today, the reality of a “bigger is better” garden no longer holds the same allure as a “small is beautiful” one. We’re busy, we’re aging, and the demands of the garden can feel overwhelming. What to do? Make smarter use of the space we have and the plants we select, says garden expert Kerry Ann Mendez. In The Right-Size Flower Garden, she shares her successful recipe for having a garden we can manage and love again…the right-size, low maintenance, drought tolerant garden. The goal is ditching 50% of the work by choosing high-value plants and making simple design changes. You’ll learn which plants to switch out, which ones aren’t worth the effort, and which tools and practices will take the “chore” out of gardening. The Right-Size Flower Garden is filled with beautiful full-color photos, practical tips, “plant this not that” lists, and valuable shortcuts to success.

I am very excited about this book. I pray it is a blessing to many. The Right-Size Flower Garden provides liberation and rejoicing for aging and time-pressed gardeners – you and me! Implementing these recommendations are not only good for you, they’re good for the planet. A win-win for all!
