My summer issue of "Gardening News" from Pope's Gardens in

Waterford, NJ had the following piece of news:

"Pope's Gardens is honored to be included in a new publication entitled 'Where To Buy The Best Plants in New York & New Jersey'. The author's standard for inclusion is simple: each nursery offers something distinctive, is accessible to home gardeners, and, above all, grows really good plants. The book is written by Ruah Donnelly, a well-known garden writer and the winner of the 2001 Quill & Trowel Book Award from the Garden Writer's Assoc. of America."

It's available at Amazon.com (paperback) for $25.95 (OUCH!); also used copies at $15.57. . .I'm headed out to

Barnes & Noble to check it out (may have to go to a bigger B & N in New York City). If and when I find it, I'll

post a review.
