May Dreams Gardens

Blog Book Party for The 20-30 Something Garden Guide, with Prizes

February 16, 2014 By Carol Michel 108 Comments

Update February 24 — Congratulations to Commonweeder who won the drawing for the seeds and tools.  Thank you to everyone else who stopped by to visit and find out about Dee’s new book!

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

It’s a blog book party and I am thrilled to be one of the guests at this shin-dig.

My dear friend and fellow garden blogger, Dee Nash of Red Dirt Ramblings has just published her first book, The 20-30 Something Garden Guide: A No-Fuss, Down and Dirty Gardening 101 for Anyone Who Wants to Grow Stuff.  (St. Lynn’s Press, 2014).

As soon as Dee’s book showed up on Amazon, I pre-ordered copies for my nieces & nephews to give to them this spring. Shhhh… do not tell them that I did that.  It’s a surprise.

Wow, this party is going to my head. I’m so excited, I’m even revealing secrets.

But seriously, just for a minute before we go around and meet the other guests at this party and I tell you what Dee has arranged for me to give away to one lucky reader, I’d like to say that this is a wonderful book for anyone who finds themselves wandering over to the seed aisle of the big box store this time of year and wondering what people do with those seeds.  It’s a great book to give to someone who has just purchased their first home and now has a “yard” that should really be a garden.  It’s a guide that will lead any new gardener through the minefield that a garden center can be to those who have never really thought about gardening, and help them make good decisions to have a garden they can be proud of.

Dee, this is a wonderful book and you should rightfully be proud to have your name on the cover.

Dee Nash, the author and hostess of this blog party

Now, back to this party which is full of guests and prizes for all.

First, here at May Dreams Gardens, I am pleased to be giving away seeds and gardening tools.  Seeds and gardening tools! Two of my favorite things to garden with.

The seeds are from Botanical Interests, my go-to seed company when I buy seeds.

This is their Heirloom Organic Seed Bank Collection, which includes seeds for a complete vegetable garden, everything from beans to turnips, including peas, squash, tomatoes, and more… 24 seed packets.  These are all open-pollinated heirloom varieties, the varieties our parents and grandparents grew, if they were gardeners.

The tools are just the kind I have… from DeWit, these are quality tools that will last a lifetime.

The set includes three hand tools, a hand digging fork, a trowel, and  hand rake.  If you’ve never gardened with hand-forged tools like these, you haven’t really gardened!

How can you win these seeds and tools? Just leave a comment below and make sure it will lead me to your email address, or put your email address in the comment, using a format like email AT gmail DOT com so it can’t be scraped.

Enter by Sunday, February 23 11:59 PM EST and I’ll choose a winner on Monday, February 24 by random number.

Now, let’s meet the other party guests.  You will want to visit each of their blogs because they, too, are giving away some great prizes for gardeners!

Marie Wreath at the (Not Always) Lazy W Ranch is giving away some Longfield Gardens tulips & daffodils.

Shawna Coronado is giving away a gift certificate to High Country Gardens for a Summer Dreams Garden.

Robin Haglund at Garden Mentors is giving away Buckaroo Worm Castings, a hula planter and Empire Soil Builder.

Jenny Peterson of J. Peterson Garden Design is giving away a SeedKeepers Deluxe Seedkeeper and Burlap Girdle.

Rachel Hough at The Domestic Artiste is giving away Fiskars Tools, two sets of loppers, one is the PowerGear Lopper 32” and the other is 28”.

Niki Jabbour at Niki Jabbour, The Year Round Veggie Gardener is at the party, too. Go visit her to be inspired to grow vegetables in the snow.

Whitney Curtis at the Curtis Casa is giving away a  David Austin Rose, ‘Princess Alexandra of Kent’
  and Authentic Haven Brand Moo Poo tea,

Pam Penick at Digging is giving away Bee Preservers from Glass Gardens NW,

Colleen Dieter at Red Wheelbarrow Plants  is giving away Garden Girl shorts and Fiskars PowerGear 18” loppers

Carmen Johnston at Carmen Johnston Gardens is giving away Garden Girl pants with knee pads, and a David Austin rose, ‘The Alnwick Rose’.

Genevieve Schmidt at North Coast Gardening is giving away Annie’s Annuals gift certificate,  and Keira Watering Cans.

Whew. I’m excited to be invited to this party to help Dee launch her new book, The 20-30 Something Garden Guide: A No-Fuss, Down and Dirty Gardening 101 for Anyone Who Wants to Grow Stuff. (St. Lynn’s Press, 2014).

Join the party by commenting below to win Botanical Interests seeds and DeWit hand tools, and then visit the other party guests to enter to win their cool prizes, too!  All winners will be chosen on February 24. 

(Open to residents of the United States, over 18, etc.)

    I will definitely need to order that book – we just moved into a new place this past fall and not only does it have an enormous yard, it has NO GARDEN! And I'm totally at a loss!

    So, those seeds and tools would also come in handy – I anticipate a busy spring/summer/fall 🙂

I want to thank you for all of the work and effort that you put into this blog – for the past few years, it's been your blog and thoughts of spring that have made the winters bearable. I'm a very new gardener, and I've received infinite inspiration and ideas from May Dreams Gardens, and once again, I mostly just want to say thank you.

    This is the first year I have a place again to garden. I have an autoimmune problem and have food allergies on a daily basis. I am going to heal myself by growing my own food. I grew up like this and hope I can remember what my day taught me about growing food. I love to cook and it hope this year in the garden works out! Thank you for having this chance to win healthy Heirloom seeds.

    Great book idea. Even in the suburbs, I know a lot of people that want to grow veggies but don't know how to start. I always start extra veggie plants and try to adopt them out to friends and neighbors. My neighbor across the street said she is going to try and grow a small corn field this year! I will share this book with her.

    I’ve been reading Dee’s blog for several years now and have been slow to get over to yours. Kicking myself for for not stopping by sooner. Thanks for the great reads.
