Yards and Stripes: A Funny Book About Work, Business and Gardening.

By Michael Francis

A Comedy of Errors in American Gardens

When Michael Francis packs up his Manhattan cubicle to start a gardening business in Connecticut, he overlooks just one tiny detail.

He doesn't know the first thing about gardening.

Armed with unwavering optimism and a borrowed lawn mower, he launches headfirst into the manicured world of suburban landscaping.

What could possibly go wrong?

From battles with the infamous Trash Monster to diplomatic missions with Nasty Mrs. Phillips, Michael's misadventures bloom into an unexpected journey of self-discovery.

His clients might be eccentric (looking at you, Mad Annie Marsh), but they teach him that, at times, the best growth happens outside the garden.

Part memoir, part comedy, and part inspiration, this laugh-out-loud story proves that sometimes failure can be just as rewarding as success.

Perfect for anyone who has ever dared to chase an impossible dream, Yards and Stripes will have you rooting for Michael's success from the very first page.
