About this item
At the end of the day, what better place is there to kick back, chill out and make the world go away, than in your own backyard garden? Plant and cocktail lover C. L. Fornari shows how easy it is to create a garden atmosphere that sets the mood for private relaxation or festive occasions with friends. With a wise and witty text, mood-setting plant lists, botanical drink recipes and luscious photographs, The Cocktail Hour Garden reveals the simple secrets to creating an evening pleasure garden. This personalizing of the garden experience is what the new buzzwords "garden-tainment" and "garden-to-glass" are all about.
About the Author
I'm a plant geek who fell into garden communications because of my desire to introduce others to the joys of plants and gardening. My garden path led me into becoming a writer, speaker and radio host and I've recently completed my first novel.
I speak to a variety of audiences ranging from horticultural trade shows to women's groups, writer's symposiums, Master Gardener conventions, and alumni associations. All of my talks revolve around cultivation of some sort, ranging from the growth of businesses, better speaking and landscaping skills, or plants and gardens. All of my talks are listed on my website: www.GardenLady.com
For the past twelve years I've hosted GardenLine, a live two-hour call-in radio show on WXTK that is now streamed online. Before that I was a weekly contributor to The Cultivated Gardener, heard on NPR stations nationwide. You can find my blog at www.CoffeeForRoses.com
I write and garden on Poison Ivy Acres in Sandwich, MA. My favorite plant? Whatever I looked at ten minutes ago.
