Plant Your Passion: Memoir of a Determined Woman's Path Into Horticulture, Botanical Gardens and Making a Difference (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9781939237989)

Plant Your Passion is the true story of a girl who was lost and then found by a dream. She dared to follow it, a mountain-sized project to match her unparalleled determination to make a difference in the world. Donna Porter writes about how her chosen field of study, horticulture, was as unpredictable as her success in creating a dynamic nonprofit organization that gave birth to the Botanical Garden of the Ozarks.

Porter's memoir not only recounts what one would expect when blazing a new trail, staying the course for years through incredible challenges, but also reveals an unsolved mystery that writing Plant Your Passion helped bring to the surface.

Beyond the author's intriguing personal journey, this book takes you to 18 botanical gardens...a reminder of the important role they play and the hidden jewels they are within our communities.
