Spend an entertaining evening with two Timber Press authors – Roy Dicks and Pam Baggett – as they discuss the exhilarating process of writing garden books, as well as the paths their books have taken on their way to publication. Your questions about writing and publishing (or the subjects of the books themselves) are welcome.

Roy Dicks is editor of Rhapsody in Green: the garden wit and wisdom of Beverley Nichols, due out in February, and has worked on ten previous Timber Press Nichols reprints over the last decade.
