Alright, we are finally back with some interviews for the next several episodes and I'm kicking off with a previous guest who is returning to the podcast, Christy Wilhelmi! You may know her from her Gardennerd podcast, or her Gardenerd website but if you don't, Christy is a gardener, garden coach, and author based in southern California. Over the last year she's had two new books debut, the first Grown Your Own Mini-Fruit Garden published by Cool Springs Press, and her latest, debuting this last week, Garden Variety, a fiction book published by William Morrow & Company. While I enjoyed her fruit garden books, a wonderful how-to for small space and home gardeners, I really enjoyed her fiction book and it was a kick to see her branch out and into the world of fiction. I'm an avid reader and just lapped the book up over the winter holidays! If you are at all interested in fruit gardening or gardening fiction, keep listening and hear what Christy has to say.
