Lawn Gone! book available for pre-order
After a fall and winter of writing and compiling photos and a spring and summer of editing and proofreading, I’m thrilled to announce that my upcoming book, Lawn Gone! Low-Maintenance, Sustainable, Attractive Alternatives for Your Yard, has a beautiful cover design and is now available for pre-order. I’ve installed a handy app called Browse My Books on my book’s Facebook page (Lawn Gone—please “like” it to receive book updates and alt-lawn inspiration) that lets you order directly from various outlets, including Amazon, Barnes & Noble, Books-A-Million, and others.
I can’t tell you how excited I am to be on the brink of becoming a published author. And this opportunity would never have happened without YOU, dear reader—you and all who’ve read Digging over the years. Many thanks for your support, fellow Diggers!

Congratulations!!!! I just pre-ordered and will be impatiently waiting to get some new ideas to aid my slow reclamation of all that boring lawn. I hope you’ll be giving us some sneak peeks along those many months until February 2013.
Thanks, Vickie! I will definitely be offering sneak peeks in coming months. —Pam
This is soooo exciting, Pam !!! Congratulations. What a high it must be, at the end of that creative journey and to see the finished product. I’m so happy for you!
It feels good, Sandy. I just received the full layout of the book to proof. It makes it all seem real! —Pam
Congrats Pam. I also pre-ordered. I can’t wait to see you in print.
Thank you so much, Lisa! —Pam
Congratulations Pam. Can’t wait to read this!
Jeanette, thank you! —Pam
This is what I want to specialize on in my new business.
Congratulations on the book, I can’t wait to get my hands on.
Lots of people are looking for lawn alternatives, Laura. It’s a good thing to specialize in or just to work on in one’s own yard. —Pam
So excited for you Pam. The gardening world is lucky to have you and I am privileged to count you as one of my gardening buddies.
Jenny, that’s kind of you. I feel the same about you, talented friend! —Pam
Congratulations gardening friend! Could not be more proud of you! I can wait to see what you have in store for us.
Aw, thank you, dear friend! —Pam
Okay, obviously, I CAN’T wait to see what you have in store for us! Clearly, I should proof before hitting the submit button 🙂 Love ya!
Hee hee! —Pam
I’m so excited for you, and really looking forward to reading your book. I have a front lawn right now, and want to get rid of it (or at least most of it), but want to have a constructive plan in place before I just start getting rid of it willy-nilly.
Alison, that’s exactly what I hope to help people with, with Lawn Gone!—coming up with a constructive plan, with plenty of inspiration along the way. —Pam
Rock on, Pam, destroy them lawns.
Rockin’ and rollin’, Benjamin! —Pam
Congratulations! I hope the book is a grand success.
Thanks, Tina! —Pam
Pam, I wish I’d had your book as a reference three years ago, when we ripped up our dead front lawn and installed a garden. I expect I’ll want to re-do large swaths of my plot after reading it! I hope I’ll be able to get Lawn Gone! through a local bookstore like BookPeople, I’ll call and see if they can pre-order it for me.
Hi, Caroline. I certainly hope that BookPeople will carry it. I’m also hoping that our local independent nurseries and the Wildflower Center will carry it as well. —Pam
Congratulations, Pam!! This is just icing on the blog cake 🙂 Rewards await after I am sure lots and lots of hours of work and prep..photos, writing, editing, proofing, more photos, more writing, more editing, more proofing. Very exciting indeed!!
Thanks so much, Toni. You are very accurate in your description of the process. 🙂 —Pam
Congratulations Pam! I am thrilled for you and wish you the best success!
Many thanks, Gail! —Pam
Congratulations!!! You must be jumping for joy!
I am looking forward to the sneak peeks 🙂
I’ll put some together this fall/winter, Ruth—a good reading and planning time for many gardeners. —Pam
wow!!! So awesome, congrats to you!!! Pamie G.
Thank you, Pamie G.! —Pam
Looks like a wonderful book cover…and in this case we CAN judge a book by its cover. I will be excited to buy a copy!
Best wishes for lots of fun being a garden author!

David, thank you for the good wishes. AND for judging this book by its cover. 😉 —Pam
Cheers to you, soon-to-be published author! I’m so excited and happy for you! I’m off to pre-order my copy right now…!
Thank you, Julie, and many thanks for the pre-order! —Pam
I know you must be excited, like having a third child. Congratulations!
Well, it’s not quite that momentous, mainly due to the fact that I don’t actually have to give birth this time around. 😉 But it’s pretty exciting nonetheless. Thanks for your good wishes, Les! —Pam
Congratulations, Pam! That’s very exciting!
Thanks, PP. —Pam
This is so great Pam – you are an amazing online mentor and teacher and your book is CERTAIN to be incredible and I can’t wait to read it and share it!
Aw, thank you so much, Heather. It’s very kind of you. I hope you enjoy it! —Pam
Holy Cow! You go girl. I’m so excited and just pre-ordered my copy. Can’t wait to hold it in my hands and jump up and down and squeal with you!
You’re on, Diana! And thanks so much for the pre-order, friend! —Pam
I am looking forward to reading your book, Pam. Most of my gardening books come from used book stores, but I think I will have to get this one new. Congratulations!
I’m flattered, Michael—and thanks! —Pam
I’ve been a fan of Digging for many years now and I’m really excited to buy your book!
Hi, Julie—thank you so much! And thanks for reading Digging! —Pam
I am just SO happy for you, Pam. You are such a hard worker and a wonderful mentor and “tribe member.” I can’t wait to see the book. Ordering now!
Oh, thank you so much, Mamaholt! I’m touched by your words. —Pam
Hi Pam!! Congratulations on your new book. I can’t wait to read it and I’m sure I’ll get lots of cool ideas for my garden.
Hi, Ami! Thanks so much! —Pam
