Jan Nelson

If you live in the Santa Cruz Mountains, this is the garden book for you. Written by local gardening expert, Jan Nelson, author of the newspaper column, 'The Mountain Gardener', it will guide you through the most frequently asked questions about gardening in this beautiful and unique area.

Based on the author's experience in gardening in the Santa Cruz Mountains and on conversations with local customers over the past 20 years in a local nursery, 21 categories are discussed including our unique soils, climate, weather, pests, weeds, critter control, plant selection and landscape design.

Take the guesswork out of gardening by using the 'Handbook for Gardeners in The Santa Cruz Mountains' as your garden resource.

On the way to a finished work...

Jan on the deck

...a girl has to make a living and between doing consults and designs, I find that the the arrival of my literary baby is taking longer than I expected. Also researching one topic leads to another... you get the picture.   For this I can only apologize. If all goes well, I hope to see the book available sometime in the future-possibly next year. As always, you can email me for any pressing questions you may have.   www.janis001@aol.com
