They were just what she needed for her own garden, and she asked her host what they were. "Those are Nellie Stevens hollies," was the reply. She looked again and couldn't help but wonder about the name. Who in the world is Nellie Stevens, and how did her name ever become associated with this plant? She noted other intriguing names, and she asked similar questions. She saw a beautifulblue clematis and wondered if Betty Corning was still alive and what stories she had to tell.She wondered about the places and people whose names are associated with so many popular garden plants. She is not alone. If necessity is the mother of invention, curiosity is the mother of research. In many cases, we wonder not what our gardens grow, but who our gardens grow. Until now, these accounts have not been compiled and unfortunately, many of the people are disappearing, their stories with them. Now gardeners can enjoy the beauty of their plants and delight in the tales they tell." ; Contents: Anna, Illinois -- Arnold Arboretum -- Janes Bath -- Lole Benedict -- ray Bracken -- Luther Burbank -- Molly Bush -- Cedar lane Farm -- John Champneys, Phillippe Noisette -- Corbett, maryland -- Betty Corning -- John Creech -- Roy Davidson -- Vince and Barbara Dooley -- Eco-Gardens -- Katie Ferguson -- Henry and Sally Fuller -- Fred Galle -- Gardenview Horticultural park -- Azilda Gerbing -- Goodness Grows -- Kim Hawks -- mary Gibson Henry -- Poly Hill -- Andre Iseli -- Tina James -- Joseph Kassab -- Hella Lacy -- Michael Lindsey -- Carol Mackie -- Frank N Meyer -- Montrose Nursery -- David Mooberry -- Mt.

Taschenbuch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware - Covenant Baptist and its young, woman pastor, Annie Adams have been negotiating interesting and sometimes difficult twists and turns for some time. While trying to serve God in the best way that the folks at Covenant can figure, their sense of call puts them at odds with the Southern Baptist Convention and much of traditional Christianity. They continue to deal with issues of gay acceptance, racism, immigration, single parent families, and ex-convicts. Their support of gays in the congregation eventually leads to confronting gay marriage. While all of these church related issues are going on, Annie's family life and personal life continue to produce issues she has to deal with. In her personal life she struggles to choose between John, a widower and father of young twins, and Greg, a state trooper who is caring for his father who is dying from pancreatic cancer. In this book Annie follows the lead of her heart and chooses a love for her life.This final book of the trilogy on Annie and Covenant Baptist Church brings closure to many things in the life of these folks at Covenant. However, many issues remain, but it is likely that Annie and Covenant are up to the challenge.
