Grape Lover Receives Garden Globe
for Best Writing
Washington, DC - June 1, 2003 - Lon Rombough, a contributing author to the
2001 Chicken Soup for the Gardener's Soul, has received the Garden Globe
Award for Best Writing for his book The Grape Grower, published by Chelsea
Green.
This new book on grape growing, designed to help growers of all levels, is
gaining national recognition for its completeness and usefulness. Written
with an organic approach not seen in other books, it helps growers of all
levels produce excellent grapes for eating fresh or for making wine, juice,
or jellies and preserves.
The first book of its kind in more than 80 years, The Grape Grower (
www.bunchgrapes.com <http://www.bunchgrapes.com/> ) represents 40 years of
Rombough's personal experience training in viticulture at the University of
California and testing well over 200 varieties of grapes, the most popular
and widely grown fruit in the world.  He's also included interesting
correspondence with other grape growers, researchers and breeders worldwide,
making the book relevant for any country.
Choice Magazine credits the books success to Rombough's friendly writing
style. "Packed with useful information, this book benefits from the author's
personalized writing style. Immensely enjoyable."
Rombough is now one of nine finalist for the Garden Globe Award of the Year,
the highest honor bestowed on a horticultural communicator. The award will
be announced at the 55th annual Garden Writers Association (GWA.org)
Symposium in Chicago on August 18, 2003.
"Each year the GWA seeks to recognize the best talent in the field of garden
communications to receive one of our coveted Garden Globe Awards," says GWA
Executive Director Robert LaGasse.
Since the early 1980s, the GWA annual awards program has recognized
outstanding writing, photography, graphic design and illustration for books,
newspaper stories, magazine articles and other works focused on gardening.
In recent years awards have expanded to include on-air talent, production
and direction for radio, television, video, Internet and other electronic
media.
