Re: [GWL]: New Items

Better late than never...I've been out of town for a few days, but I'd like 
to answer this one.

I, too, received a pack of plants from Terra Nova Nurseries -- a bunch of 
Heucheras (all purple-leafed -- one has been dug up five times by a squirrel, 
but I hope it will survive), two Tiarellas ('Neon Lights' and 'Ninja'), a 
red-flowering Corydalis ('Blackberry Wine'), Campanula ('R.B. Loder'), 'King 
of Hearts' Dicentra spectabilis, Pulmonaria 'Emerald Isles', Lobelia 'Cotton 
Candy' and the ornamental grass, Luzula 'Ruby Stiletto.' 

About myself, I was a newspaper reporter for 20 years, covering a variety of 
topics from higher education to business. I left The Indianapolis Star in 
1997 to found JEMStone Communications, a free-lance writing business. 

About a third of my income comes from garden-related activities, including 
teaching, a weekly column in The Indianapolis Star and my book, The Indiana 
Gardener's Guide (co-authored w/Tom Tyler). I'm in discussion now with 
another publisher about a book on annuals for the Midwest, so I may be asking 
you writers what your favorites are. I'm also the associate producer/writer 
of The Heartland Garden, a 30-minute locally produced program airing on the 
public television station. We have 13 episodes under our belts (produced by 
the Emmy award-winning Nineteenth Star (www.nineteenthstar.com), and have 
begun planning for the another 13-week season to air in 2002. My Web site can 
be found at www.net19.com/hoosiergardener.

The rest of my income comes from clients' work -- newsletters, annual 
reports, sales literature, business plans, advertising and promotions. I also 
do a lot of free-lance writing on real estate and development for regional 
trade pubs -- Midwest Real Estate News, Midwest Construction, etc. And I do 
some ghost writing for various corporations. 

I am an Advanced Master Gardener and a member of GWAA, the Perennial Plant 
Association and off and on, the Public Relations Society of America. I'm an 
officer of the Indiana Native Plant and Wildflower Society, and on the board 
of directors of the Friends of Garfield Park, which supports Indianapolis' 
oldest city park.
