More About the Author

Maureen is a child of California who entered horticulture at age 19. Thirty years later she has risen to success in garden media. She's written 18 books on plants, gardens and design. She's also a columnist syndicated by United Media and writes for various magazines. Since moving to Palm Springs in 2002, she's fallen in love with cacti and succulents as well as other desert plants that are the salvation of water stressed communities. That's why she wrote Palm Springs Style Gardening, so that everyone may discover what has so enchanted her in this land of little rain.

Mo's latest releases are the first two books of the fiction series featuring main character, Allison Keppler family investigator. Walls and Altamont are exciting forays into little known realms of California, on sale as eBook novels at the Kindle Store.

Maureen also writes autobiographical titles featuring two upcoming books:
10 Years in Limbo - An Odyssey of Love and Chronic Pain
Jumping the Fence - A Legacy of Race and Family Secrets In Antebellum New Orleans Through the Era of Jim Crow.

When Mo is not in the garden or at the computer, she's on her quarter horse exploring the back country of Southern California.

3.0 out of 5 stars Better for designing a new lawn, February 7, 2000
By A Customer
This review is from: The Complete Idiot's Guide to Lawn Care (Paperback)
In the typical format, The Complete Idiot's Guide to a Beautiful Lawn is easy to read and understand with abundant simple definitions and explanations and well-formulated, easy-to-follow instructions. However, there is comparatively little on revitalizing an existing lawn, and the major emphasis is on putting in a new lawn. Granted, lessons from putting in a new lawn can be applied to revitalizing an existing lawn, but the techniques for doing so are not detailed and are rarely even mentioned. A useful book, but not my favorite Complete Idiot's Guide.

5.0 out of 5 stars Not Just for Idiots, April 24, 2000
By A Customer
This review is from: The Complete Idiot's Guide to Lawn Care (Paperback)
The "reader" in the above review did not read the book. It contains extensive instructions for renovating existing lawns. In fact, I have just renovated my lawn based on information in the book and now (3 weeks later) have a nice green carpet of turf in my front yard. She also discusses topdressing at length, a technique I didn't find in any other lawn book I looked at. I found this book very useful and quite comprehensive. IMHO, this is the fundamental homeowner's reference work on lawns.
