A series of ebooks about
South Florida Gardening!
by Chase Landre
author of South-Florida-Plant-Guide.com
Five ebooks about South Florida plants, all based on the best of my published newspaper columns about South Florida gardening.
If you like this website, you're going to love my Garden Column Collections!
The ebooks go beyond the scope of South-Florida-Plant-Guide.com, with information you can use right away in your home landscape.
You'll find lots of info not covered on South-Florida-Plant-Guide.com!
These columns were so popular among readers that many told me they created scrapbooks for them - but you don't have to! The best are gathered right here, expanded and updated!
Believe it or not...
I know just how you feel!
Some years ago I knew next to nothing about plant life here in subtropical South Florida.
Just like many of you, I was at a loss as to what to plant where, the names of each plant, and what to expect of them.
So - if you're new to South Florida - I know EXACTLY how you feel.
I'm an avid gardener originally from southeast Pennsylvania.
But when I moved to Florida in 1988, boy was I lost! Everything I knew about gardening up North I had to throw away and start over.
Over a decade ago, I was permanently injured by an auto-immune disease, which took away much of the ability to use my hands. I couldn't do most money-earning jobs which require full use of your hands.
Luckily for me, I could still talk!
I somehow managed to talk my way into a job at a retail plant nursery and garden center.
One problem, though - I didn't know much of anything about South Florida plants! So how in the world was I going to sell them?
Yes, I'd been a gardening nut when I lived in the Northeast.
But gardening in South Florida? I might as well have landed on another planet.
Learn about hundreds of plants and how to use them!
Here's a fast way to increase your knowledge of South Florida gardening. Discover plants and the best ways to use them - with landscape design advice throughout!
COLOR PHOTOS!
Throwing myself into the learning curve - with the patient help of some very knowledgeable people - I gobbled up every bit of info I could about South Florida plants.
I grew many of them in my own yard. I compared notes with more experienced folks...including horticulturists and landscapers.
I even discovered along the way that I had an innate talent for landscape design and began designing professionally.
As
my confidence and knowledge grew, I wanted to share it - and I wrote and published books.
And then I created South-Florida-Plant-Guide.com.
For several
years I also wrote a regular column about gardening in my local
newspaper, the Bradenton Herald.
Recently I had a brainstorm.
Why not offer the columns as ebooks?
The Garden Column Collections are something I could have used when I first came to Florida.
They're an additional source of information that's not covered in the same way on South-Florida-Plant-Guide.com.
And more knowledge is a beautiful thing...
If you're hungry for knowledge NOW, these ebooks might be just the boost you need.
I've learned that new knowledge can transform something as tragic (to me anyway - as a former professional musician) as losing the use of your hands into a new life. A life growing and blossoming - just like an exotic tropical South Florida plant!
