Thank you for visiting Art Wolk's
home on the
Internet

Welcome to my website, devoted
to gardeners who want their hobby to be fun and
their garden books and lectures to be both enlightening
and entertaining.
I confess that I’m a
non-conformist garden writer
and lecturer who believes that garden books and
programs should be filled with personally-tested
directions, conveyed with some attempt to give the
audience a delightful, non-sedative, laugh-out-loud
experience.
When you read my books or
attend my lectures, feel free to laugh at my
overwrought successes as well as the innumerable
mistakes I’ve made over the decades that helped me
learn how to stop killing plants. I also hope
you can identify with my misadventures and
chuckle at some of your own horticultural foibles.
One promise: the woes of the
world are heavy enough upon our shoulders, so I’ll
do everything I can to lighten your load.
After all, isn’t gardening
supposed to be about having fun?
P.S. Feel free to click
the "Art's Biography" and "Art's Horticultural
Accomplishments" buttons to the left to get a dose of
my horticultural history to date.

Art's newest book will teach you how to make potted
bulbs bloom indoors when winter is at its worst.
Purchase
signed, inscribed copies of
Bulb Forcing for Beginners and
the Seriously Smitten
for $28.99.
In Bulb Forcing, you'll learn how to
grow tulips, daffodils, crocuses, and the rest of
their spring-blooming brethren indoors, all winter
long, when the view outside your window reveals
snow, sleet, or icy rain. Instead, imagine your
windowsills filled with an array of dazzling
flowers. In the informative and entertaining book,
Art reveals the secrets he's used for three decades
to win silver cups and baskets of blue ribbons. It's
filled with 350 glorious photos that show you
exactly how to produce your own wintertime flower
show every year. And, Art admits, bulb forcing
requires no Green Thumb. As long as you can put soil
and bulbs in a pot without mortally wounding
yourself, you'll succeed.
Art has taught bulb-forcing segments on the
Discovery Channel, FOX, CBS, and he’s had his
magazine articles published in Better Homes and
Gardens, Fine Gardening, and other
publications. This elegant book has
easy-to-understand instructions as well as Art’s
laugh-out-loud humor threading its way through every
chapter.
NOTE- The
Independent Book Publishers Association (IBPA) gave
Bulb Forcing
a Benjamin Franklin Award in the home/garden book
category. The IBPA, the largest not-for-profit trade group in the U.S. book
industry, recognizes excellence and innovation in independent publishing with
its annual Benjamin Franklin Awards, named in honor of America's most cherished
publisher/printer.
