When's the next volume to be published?

An avid non-gardener, I admire those that take the up the challenge. "In Faro's Garden" is a vivid and lighthearted read of leaf and life...yummy to the last page!

a real gem

In Faro's Garden isn't so much a gardening book as a collection of musings on life as considered through the prism of gardening broadly defined. Schwarzenberger struggles to get ahead in his garden and his love life. Like any bay area gardener, he doesn't make much progress in the garden; I won't reveal any secrets on the love life front. His combination of high and low diction is absolutely charming.
