Re: [GWL]: Green Spring Gardens

To Marge Talt

Just read your e-mail about Green Spring Gardens and note you are an editor
at Gardening in Shade. I am the author of the  book "What Can I Grow in the
Shade"  (published by Liveright in l977) as well as "Suzanne's Garden
Secrets" and :"The Ivy Book".   I have a l2 acre  mountain garden - most of
which is in shade.  I grow thousands of hostas which I use as a ground cover
as well as other shade plants so I am interested to know what your company
prints.

Thank you,  Suzanne Pierot
