Writer Seeks Great Backyard Gardens

Writer Barbara Ballinger has contacted our group in search of projects to feature in her next publication. See her letter in this posting.

Dear ASLA Members,
I am working on a special garden magazine for home owners and professionals;
it is the second "edition," and again to be titled "Backyard Ideas." It
will also again be sold nationally and published by Harris Publishing out of
New York City. I saw a lovely garden from your group in Metropolitan Home
magazine.
I am looking for wonderful residential gardens of all types: large, small;
rocky, flat; with water and without. Each garden submitted must come with two
high res color 300 dpi photos, 8" X 10" sent to me on a disk with a name for
identification purposes and to keep straight all the submissions.
I will then do an interview by phone with the landscape designer or
architect and the home owners if they want to speak; I am happy not to quote
homeowners by name if they prefer. We will also include a plant materials list and
all credits for garden design and photos. If the gardens have been used
elsewhere that's fine as long as not in my prior issue!
I look forward to seeing your submissions.
If you have any questions, please
call me at 314-692-9881, email me at _bbbuch@aol.com_
(mailto:bbbuch@aol.com) , or just send me your fabulous gardens. Let's talk before you send your
submissions, though if you want send them to me AFTER May 22 to Barbara
Ballinger, 30 Briarcliff, St. Louis , Mo. 63124 .
Thanks very much in advance.


Sincerely,
Barbara Ballinger
