Ta-da! Here’s the cover of my new book, The Water-Saving Garden
I’ve missed you guys! You might have noticed a quiet week here at Digging, and the reason is because I was out of the country. In Toronto, in fact, for the 8th annual Garden Bloggers Fling, which as always was jam-packed with garden visits, socializing with other bloggers from all over the U.S., Canada, and the U.K., and basking in 65- to 75-degree weather. Oh yes, it was pretty nice!
I’ll be sharing my favorite Toronto gardens with you soon, but that’ll have to wait until next week because my last big book deadline (photo placement and copy-edit review) is looming, and, well, that’s pretty important to me. I’m excited about how The Water-Saving Garden is coming together, including — ta-da! — the book cover. Do you recognize any of those photos?
I hope you like it. I sure do! Kara, my designer at Ten Speed Press, did a great job with it and is now hard at work on the page design. I can’t wait to show you more soon.

I am so excited for you and I like that cover photo!
Love the cover! The title really pops on the stones that remind me of water. Exciting progress! It was really great to share another fling with you and getting a break from the heat and enjoying Toronto’s much later spring was pure joy! HUGS
Love the cover. How exciting to have it coming together.
Looking forward to your great photography from the Toronto gardens.
Welcome home, and congrats!
Gorgeous cover. I think I will need this book more than the last as I switch over to more low water gardening.
Looks fabulous. Can’t wait to read it!
I can’t wait to get hold of the book! Congratulations on reaching another milestone in your journey.
Love the cover. It makes one want to dig into that book to see water wise inspiration. Yes, I think I do recognize a couple of the pictures.
It’s a beautiful cover. I Can’t wait until I can order it.
I really like the layout, the fonts, and the photos you chose. Congratulations, Pam! I’ll look forward to reading/seeing the book.
Hey, I recognize that garden! 😀
Love the cover, and I can’t wait to see more!
I’m so excited about your second book, can’t wait to check it out. Also, looking forward to your Fling post. I know I can count on you to cover it extensively.
Aren’t those river washed stones beautiful in the center? Can’t wait to read your book! ~J
Congratulations, Pam. How exciting! I’ll be looking for it when it comes out.
Successful books, like well planned gardens, often look deceptively easy to pull off. Congratulations on a lot of hard work coming into fruition! Book number two!
Here’s hoping It will not all become blasé anytime soon. All the demands…
Book tours, TV appearances, then your own movie of the week… I hope you’ve already figured out who will play you, that’s key, of course. Somebody who can convincingly speak Faux Plant…
Ha! Maybe Ellen DeGeneres? She spoke Whale very well in Finding Nemo. —Pam
That looks incredible, Pam!!! Very vibrant!
Very nice! I’m looking forward to buying a copy.
That is so exciting Pam! Hope the 2nd book is even more successful that the 1st! Even with all of the rain we’ve had this year, we should always think of ways to save water.
Looking forward to your posts about Toronto too! Those Northern gardens are such eye candy!
You’re in the home stretch now, Pam! The cover looks great.
That cover is gorgeous, can’t wait to see what’s inside!!
I’m both impressed and excited. Definitely a book more and more people will be needing as their area transitions to a much drier climate.
I do hope this comes out as an e-book. Being homeless, I can’t keep a collection of books except virtually. But I’ll be buying it for friends that are still collecting paper books.
And I’m growing a vegetable garden up here in Montana. My watering system consists of watering cans and a creek.
Like Lawn Gone!, it’ll be available as a paperback and on Kindle, Marilyn. I hope the Kindle will work for you. I appreciate your support, and I’m envious of your roving adventures! —Pam
YAY! You rock on girl!
Beautiful cover and I’m looking forward to seeing the inside. With just over an acre and no sprinkler system, I’m always looking for new ideas for low water gardening.
Yay!! So thrilled for you, Pam. And thrilled for me, too. I got so many good ideas out of reading Lawn Gone. Can’t wait for this one. Beautiful cover….
It’s a terrific cover – and the colours in the design really speak of your garden as well, don’t they Pam? I suppose you haven’t included hot tips on saving water in very cold winter gardens? I could do with some of that! Congratulations!
I’m including water-saving ideas for gardeners everywhere, Cathy. For gardeners in northern, generally wetter climates, the info on rain gardens and on wind breaks to prevent desiccation will prove of particular interest, I think. —Pam
Love the cover, can’t wait to read it!
