Ocala writer Lucy Tobias has taken her love affair with the Sunshine State to another level. The prize-winning journalist who took us along as she explored the historic and downright quirky nooks of our state in 50 Great Walks in Florida now has a book for eco gardeners. It’s a combination of both inspirational and practical advice for gardeners.
“Florida Gardens Gone Wild unfolds the story of my down and dirty life with gardening,” says Tobias. “There are moments of infatuation, days of frustration, and light-bulb moments, like discovering natives, and organics and connections with nature. I had no idea so many things were so connected. Along the way I found resources, and places to visit that will surprise even seasoned gardeners.”
Tobias will show slides of gardens, flowers, rain barrels, butterflies and much more. A book signing follows the talk. This book is perfect for Christmas giving.
For this event the book, normally $15.95 will be $12. For every book sold a donation of $2 goes to the Friends of Ocala Public Library.
