SUMMARY:MGAA Book Club: Ten Tomatoes That Changed the World\, William Alexander
DESCRIPTION:Join us on Sunday\, March 15th\, 2-4 p.m.  For a Chat on\n Ten Tomatoes That Changed the World\nLast year we went deep into garden science with Robert Pavlis\, Plant Science for Gardeners\, this year we delve into the lighter side of gardening with Ten Tomatoes That Changed the World by Williams Alexander.   \nWilliam takes a humours approach as he weaves garden foibles and plant information into an informative narrative while supplying chuckles along the way.\, i.e. His misadventures growing tomatoes in The $64 Tomato\, a national best seller.  Now in his latest book he takes us on a crazy garden adventure following in his tomato obsession to discover all about the #1 fruit in the world. \nHis latest book is available at Amazon\, Thriftbooks and is in Libraries. \nAbout Ten Tomatoes That Changed the World… \n“Pity the tomato! Gets no respect. Never has. Lost in the dustbin of history for centuries\, accused of being vile and poisonous\, subjected to being picked hard-green and gassed\, even used as a projectile\, the poor tomato has become the avatar for our disaffection with industrial foods — while becoming the most popular vegetable in America (and\, in fact\, the world). Each summer\, tomato festivals crop up across the country; the Heinz ketchup bottle\, instantly recognizable\, has earned a spot in the Smithsonian; and now the tomato is redefining the very nature of farming\, moving from fields into climate-controlled mega-greenhouses the size of New England villages. \n  \nSupported by meticulous research and told in a lively\, accessible voice\, Ten Tomatoes That Changed the World seamlessly weaves travel\, history\, humor\, and a little adventure (and misadventure) to follow the tomato’s trail through history. A fascinating story complete with heroes\, con artists\, conquistadors\, and — no surprise — the Mafia\, this book is a mouth-watering\, informative\, and entertaining guide to the food that has captured our hearts for generations.’ \nTo join/register please email Verne at: vmwgardener@gmail.com \nThis is a Members Only Event
