Lawn Gone! going into 2nd printing, plus a sneak peek of new alt lawn
Holy smokin’ lawn alternatives! My publisher just told me that Lawn Gone! has gone into its 2nd printing, just 2 months after publication!
Huge thanks to everyone who’s purchased a copy, carried it in your store, or given Lawn Gone! a shout-out or positive review. Oh, and I’d like to call out Whole Earth Provision Co. for now carrying my book at all their stores in Austin, Houston, San Antonio, and Dallas. If you didn’t know, Whole Earth is not only a fabulous place to shop for fun gifts, toys, and outdoor clothing and gear, it also has a rather large selection of books, including several shelves devoted to sustainable gardening, homesteading, green building, and the like.
I found two copies of Lawn Gone! at Whole Earth’s N. Lamar Blvd. store in Austin yesterday and asked an employee to take another geeky picture of me holding my book. Can’t resist! Anyway, I’d love to know that those two copies were snatched up right away so that they’ll order more. Look for Lawn Gone! next to the big, orange Design*Sponge at Home book.
While we’re on the topic of lawn alternatives, here’s a sneak peek of my newest experiment: a Berkeley sedge “lawn.” More info soon!

Congratulations on the well-deserved success of the book!
That’s a very sneaky peek at the new sedge lawn.
I was very sneaky with that peek, Shirley. More to come soon, I promise. —Pam
2nd Printing after only 2 months??!!!
Well, how exciting is that! Congratulations, Pam.
Looking forward to the sedge post.
Thanks, Sandy. I’ve been waiting for the sedge to grow out from under all the live oak leaves and oak pollen. I’ll show more of it soon. —Pam
Congrats Pam. I knew it would go over well. Can’t wait to see your new non-lawn.
Thanks, Lisa. I’ll have more pics soon. —Pam
Hip Hip Hooray! Woo-hoo! Congrats!
Thanks, Heather! —Pam
I’ve located a copy in Boise, I plan to pick one up this afternoon.
Woo-hoo! Thanks, Jeanne, and I hope you enjoy it. —Pam
You’ll love your sedge lawn. The one Sheryl has is absolutely beautiful when the breeze blows through it. Way to go with the book – I knew it was a winner first time I picked it up. We’re so very proud of “our” Pam.
Yes, Sheryl’s sedge lawn inspired me, along with others I’ve seen around town. I can’t wait for it to fill in and get shaggy. Thanks for your kind words re: the book. 🙂 —Pam
Fantastic.
🙂 —Pam
Pam, why berkley sedge versus something like texas sedge, or other lawn-substitute sedges? Just curious.
Because I think Berkeley sedge is prettier than Texas sedge. It’s just a personal preference. I’m not familiar with other dry-shade loving sedges for central Texas, apart from those two. —Pam
Congratulations! I have my copy!
Thank you so much, Kris!! —Pam
LOOK at you fancy author!!!
I’m so happy for you. The book is fantastic, that’s why it’s selling the way it is.
I still peruse through my copy all the time. OH! I need to send you a picture, don’t I?
Mamaholt, thanks for that. Hugs! —Pam
