Hi Raffi,
You've seen some of my postings, I hope I'm not being too conversational for what you want. I write a lot and I'm willing to contribute material to Gardenology, primarily in California natives, edible plants, organic pest control - I notice many articles are more formal than I've written, but I've also noted a lot of articles are steeped in botanical data but not much on the growing side which I took to be the stated aim of Gardenology. At any rate, though I have taught botany, I am first and foremost a gardener and I pull on my practical gardening experience rather than something written in a book.
I have also done book reviews in the past and I would be willing to write a 'Book of the Month' column if that would be of any assistance. I have a lot of reviews on horticulture books already written and could forward a sample to you if that would help.
In addition, in January, I will be teaching a plant propagation class for UCLA Extension. I am considering making including a requirement that my credit students submit propagation for one plant as part of their work. That should result in getting a number of propagation notes written for Gardenology and givfe the students a reason to write a paper!
Hope all this helps. I read you were by some booth in Orange County which means you are West Coast friendly. If you come to Los Angeles, I am the Gardenmaster for The Learning Garden at Venice High School. Consider yourself invited for a tour anytime you're in our neighborhood.
