Re: 2012 Garden Conservancy Open Days: Win a Pair of Free Tickets

I would love to see the gardens on Nantucket during open days! I used to live on Cape Cod and I miss the rugosa roses and the cranberries. It would wonderful to see them this summer. Actually, after 15 years in New Mexico, it would be wonderful to see anything besides another beastly cholla or hedgehog cactus.

Re: Book Give-Away: Beautiful No-Mow Yards, by Evelyn J. Hadden

My husband-who grew up mowing a lawn every weekend of the sweltering Atlanta summer -and I (who also find grass "paralyzingly boring")decided to have no lawn when we bought our house out west. We put in a border of trees, shrubs, and perennials surrounding a small green rectangle of thyme plants. No mowing or trimming, once a week watering, and it stays green almost all year! With the beautiful photos like those in this book review, I think I could even convert my family back east to lawnlessness....
