contagion and read about Tovah’s successes, foibles, and travels
through her articles in Country Gardens, Garden Design, at
Home magazine, Hobby Farm, Urban Farm, Connecticut magazine, Connecticut
Cottages & Gardens, Flower magazine, Horticulture, Connecticut
Gardener, Coastal Living, Old House Interiors, Early Homes, Westchester

other publications. In other media, Tovah has ventured into web
content writing and blogging. Her brand spanking new blog is www.plantswise.com
and she is debuting with a daring blog series on all things having
to do with bulbs for www.gardeninggonewild.com
while continuing to blog for whpotterblog.net.
In www.seasonalwalk.com
she followed the progress of a design project by international
gardening superstars Piet Oudolf and Jacqueline van der Kloet.
Watch Tovah in action on television – she has appeared on the
CBS “Early Show” as well as many other broadcasts including the
PBS television gardening series “Cultivating Life,” where she
served as editorial producer. By far the most moving and reaffirming moment in her life happened when Tovah was awarded an Honorary Membership in The Garden Club of America as well as the Litchfield Garden Club in May 2010.
Announcing! The Unexpected Houseplant being published by Timber Press in August, 2012! Indoor plants have gotten a bad rap and are often associated
with dusty and dowdy African violets, languishing philodendrons,
and bloom-free orchids. No longer! It's time for plant lovers
to dust off their houseplants, update their image, and discover
just how exciting, trendy, and crucial plants can be in the home. |

In
her constant, undying pursuit of all things garden-related, Tovah
gets her hands dirty both outside and indoors. She is a perennial,
heirloom, vegetable and cottage gardener of fanatical proportions,
and has recently earned her accreditation from NOFA as an Organic
Land Care professional. Beyond the garden outdoors, Tovah’s areas
of specialty also include decades of experience with tropicals
(especially begonias) in windowsills, greenhouses, and otherwise.
Her passion for all things growing and encased in glass has led
to her most recent book, The New Terrarium (Clarkson Potter/Publishers,
2009). Check out her lecture schedule for a talk, demonstration
or workshop near you. The terrarium book is the newest publication
of more than a dozen titles that Tovah has authored including
Tasha Tudor’s Garden (Houghton Mifflin, 1994).
