DISCLAIMER T his book is not meant to challenge you to be a plant killer in - photo 2

DISCLAIMER

T his book is not meant to challenge you to be a plant killer in any way. Yes, as the author of this book, I am quite aware that a title like Plants You Cant Kill is begging for you to say, I bet I can kill it. (Believe me, Ive had many, many friends tell me this already.) Even though I am quite confident in my plant selections as being hardy, resilient, tough, and hard to kill, this is where I tell you I am not responsible for your garden or plants. So if you do in fact kill some of the plants I suggest in the book, you have my deepest condolences, but I will not replace your plant or refund the money you spent on this book. Those are the breaks people. But seriously, I hope this book does help you be less of a plant killer and more of a plant thriller. Ooooonow were talking!

SPECIAL THANKS T his book wouldnt have been possible without the wonderful - photo 3

SPECIAL THANKS

T his book wouldnt have been possible without the wonderful plant committee I put together. Instead of just picking all the plants myself, I went to bona fide experts, which included legit horticulturalists, master gardeners, backyard gardeners, garden center workers, authors, and my mom. They gave me their top picks for easy-to-grow plant species, which got me to the final 101 list. In no particular order, Id like to thank the following gardening experts and plant enthusiasts:

Melinda Myers

Vicki Schilleman

Jessi Bloom

Linda Lancaster

Susan Martin

Sally Roth

David Mizejewski

Amanda Shirey

Diane Blazek

Stephen Scott

Niki Jabbour

I would also like to give an extra special thanks to Susan Martin. Susan is a plant expert based in Holland, Michigan. She is a lifelong gardener and has worked in the green industry for years. She reviewed the material in this book and offered valuable feedback to make it even better for the home gardener.

Finally, I want to give another special thanks to Donna Krischan. She is a garden photographer who supplied nearly half the images for this book. Not only is she talented, but shes also an excellent gardener and person. Thank you, Donna, for your kindness and photos!

CONTENTS

START HERE!

G ardening is not hard! Its notseriously. Ive been gardening since I was old enough to eat dirt, and if you follow a few basic rulesadd sunshine, water, and dont let weeds take overthen youre pretty much guaranteed to have success.

Ive heard so many excuses: I kill everything I dont really know what Im doing I dont know what to grow I dont have a green thumb. But I promise, if you have the will, then you can definitely find a way.

My gardening experience goes way, way back. I remember both of my grandmas growing the most beautiful flowers. And my family pretty much grew and harvested every vegetable imaginable. I even had my own farmers market stand as a kid.

Over the past decade, Ive developed a new love of gardening. As the former editor of Birds & Blooms magazine (a fantastic magazine with more than one million subscribers), I spent ten years helping readers find plants that are good for birds, butterflies, bees, and more. I also became a master gardener during this time and got really involved in educating kids about the joys and benefits of gardening.
