[medit-plants] Re: Hey everybody!

Greetings !
The book is being updated.

from Saxon Holt, the co-author

"The Summer-Dry Garden (Timber Press 2019) will update and replace Plants and Landscapes for Summer-Dry Climates of the San Francisco Bay Area, the award winning book published by East Bay Municipal Water Utility Distrct (EBMUD), which is now out of print.

Along with my co-author and writer, Nora Harlow, we are expanding the definition of the West’s summer-dry region to include Baja to BC (British Columbia), a huge region with the common factor of dry summers.  That may be ten weeks in Seattle or ten months in San Diego, but all Pacific Coast climates have dry summers.  This is not drought, it is normal."

Hi Horace -

Good to hear from you too.

Yes, I had the honor to serve with this committee that included many very knowledgeable local people, some already friends, some now new friends.

It is a really good reference book - I am glad you have a copy.  Nora, the editor, worked very hard on it.

So glad to see this list become active!
Also a chance to post the following =

I was given a book by a friend and have been learning a lot reading it since. It is called Plants and Landscapes for Summer-Dry Climates. It was produced by a water district in the Bay Area but not the one who gives me my water so I never heard of it.
Anyhow I just recently happend to read the Acknowledgements section at the front and saw Sean O'Hara listed in the first paragraph!!
Sean, is this you? Must be I think. I was impressed but maybe not surprised after seeing all of your knowledge on this freelist thing.
