Whether you're a gardening zealot or a book-lover with black thumbs, The Missouri Gardener's Companion promises to be an insightful read. Becky Homan is a master gardener who served as gardening editor at the Post-Dispatch for many years. Now she shares her passion for germination techniques and soil types in a book that's part of a developing state-by-state series of gardening books released by Pequot. This paperback is a pleasant mix of fascinating detail and user-friendly description of the Show Me State’s unique horticultural environment.

Homan will be debuting her book at the Botanical Garden's annual herb sale, so you can buy some Missouri Snakeroot and look up how to grow it.
