DEDICATION
For Dad. From my first Shirley Temple to your last double-double, our best conversations were always over a drink.
ACKNOWLEDGMENTS
Thanks to Bud Sperry at Fox Chapel Publishing for giving me another chance to turn an idea into a book and Colleen Dorsey for editing out nonsensical sentences, triple-checking for accuracy, and keeping the pages turning on time. Superstar cocktail writer and recipe developer Jeanette Hurt turned a list of plants into a lineup of must-drink cocktails; Kyle Edwards shared some great photos; and talented designer Beth Kaiser took basic garden design sketches and created stunning visuals to bring them to life.
To each person who shared a (real or virtual) drink with me during this journey— Megan Bame, Heather Rice Books, Polly Campbell, Jenny Fink, Kate Hanley, Wendy Helfenbaum, Beth Howard, Kelly James, Judi Ketteler, and Rosie Molinary—thank you for always offering support and a sip of whatever you’re drinking. I also want to raise a glass to my family, Hank and Dianne Helmer, Shannon Helmer, Charlotte McKinnon, and Jerry Porter, who give me countless reasons to celebrate.
