Reviews of Ms. Crawford's first book, "Easy Gardens for South Florida" "Finally, a gardening book that is worth the paper it's printed on. It's one of the few books I've come across that's relevant to gardeners here, well organized and full of good advice." Lennie Bennett, St. Petersburg Times. "Who is this serial plant killer and why should we listen to her? Crawford spent 10 years testing every new plant she could get her hands on to determine which ones best survive the torrid heat and torrential rains of Florida. The ultimate survivors were put through maintenance trials so she could advise her readers how to keep them alive and happy." Charlyne Varkonyi-Schaub, South Florida Sun Sentinel.
