Dear Gardener,
It’s an absolute pleasure to connect with you and share something truly exceptional. Over the decades, we’ve been on a remarkable journey through the world of gardening, and today, I am thrilled to introduce you to our latest gem – “Cultivating Wisdom: 31 Essays on the Art of Intelligent Gardening.”
When it comes to the best gardening stories ever published, there’s one name that stands out above the rest – Becky Rupp. Her unique blend of storytelling and accurate information is unparalleled. “Cultivating Wisdom” is a masterpiece that will not only entertain you but also enlighten you about all things gardening. Becky has a knack for making the process intelligently funny, a feat that is as rare as it is admirable.
This collection of 31 essays is not just a one-time read; it’s a timeless treasure. I’m confident that you’ll find yourself revisiting these essays over and over again in the decades to come. Moreover, you’ll be quoting anecdotes, sharing gardening facts, and demonstrating your newfound wisdom with your friends, family, and fellow gardeners. This collection is the key to unlocking the lighter side of gardening wisdom.
So, dive into this new collection right now, and experience the inspiration, laughter, and new knowledge that perhaps will make your life just a little bit better.
Happy gardening, and happy storytelling!

I would love to buy this book too
Thank you for honoring Becky Rupp. I was the illustrator for over half of the stories featured here in this collection, plus the “Cover.” I always learned so much from what she wrote–sometimes it was difficult to find the right imagery but I was glad to accept the challenge. I particularly loved her story about the squirrel Tommy Tucker. I was impressed that you folks added color to some of my drawings–that wasn’t an option (except for the covers) when I worked for GP. They look great! A suggestion :why not do a similar feature on long time writers like Diana Wells and Mike McGrath? I think folks would enjoy those too.. I’d like to see this collection made into a print version besides only online… Thank you for your innovative ideas…Blanche Derby, Northampton MA
Blanche, thank you so much for your feedback and your work with us for all of these years. Your drawings are amazing and we are so glad that you are enjoying the colorized versions. We are indeed hard at work on additional collections that will be published later this year and in 2025! We are also hard at work on printable versions of this collection. Have a great day!
