Homegrown: Great Gardening Books up for Grabs

I'm tempted to be selfish with these awesome books, but wanted to share my bounty with some of you.

I received these new gardening books this spring and will be passing them on to four lucky winners.  Learn how to make gorgeous floral arrangements in "Fresh Flower Arranging," the answers to all of your pruning questions in "The Pruning Answer Book," a month-by-month guide to growing fruits and vegetables in "Backyard Harvest" and  everything you wanted to know about any type of gardening in "Gardening Step by Step."

To make all sorts of gardening advice easier to find, and share, I started a Homegrown Facebook page this month. You have until the end of April - that's Saturday, April 30, 2011, to "like" the page to be entered in a drawing for one of the four books.

So, if you'd like a chance to win, click Like on the home/garden Homegrown page on Facebook with the pink malva flowers.

I'll draw four names and print the list of winners after April 30. Those people will need to pick up a book from either the Iowa City or downtown Cedar Rapids Gazette office. To make it fair, I won't include my family or co-workers in the drawing. But since I see that none of my family has liked the page yet, I guess that's not a problem (yes, I'm talking about you, Henna:)
