Coffee for Roses: C.L. Fornari

C.L. Fornari, master gardener and radio show host, will talk about gardening on the Cape, and will
introduce her newly published book Coffee for Roses:….and 70 Other
Misleading Myths about Backyard Gardening.  

This program is part of the ‘Discover Cape Cod’ series being sponsored
by the Osterville Village Library.

C.L. Fornari is a writer, speaker and gardening expert who is dedicated to creating successful home gardeners and landscape professionals.  She hosts GardenLine, a weekly radio program streamed online by WXTK, and is the author of several books.

C.L. says: “I'm a plant geek who fell into garden communications because of
my desire to introduce others to the joys of plants and gardening. My garden path led me into becoming a writer, speaker and radio host and I've recently completed my first novel.

“I speak to a variety of audiences ranging from horticultural trade shows to women's groups, writer's symposiums, Master Gardener conventions, and alumni associations. All of my talks revolve around cultivation of some sort, ranging from the growth of businesses, better speaking and landscaping skills, or plants and gardens.

“For the past twelve years I've hosted GardenLine, a live two-hour call-in
radio show on WXTK. Before that I was a weekly contributor to The Cultivated Gardener, heard on NPR stations nationwide. You can find my blog at
