Not sure what to say?

I have fond memories of listening to Jerry Baker on the radio growing up in a suburb of Detroit with my Father (who was the same age as Jerry). My Dad enjoyed gardening and using Jerry’s wisdom. My Husband and I have continued this legacy purchasing his books and using his tonic recipes. Jerry was knowledgeable about every aspect of gardening and I appreciated his natural remedies over all the harmful chemicals. Thank you Jerry!

I became acquired with Jerry during his later years when I purchased one of his books and was very grateful for his insights in gardening and life. After some remodeling at home and moving things around I have to dig out my book if his to help me deal with problems in my yard. Jerry is greatly missed. Look forward to seeing the different books on the website.

To Patty and Hal,

We are very sorry to hear about the loss of your father. He impacted so many people and, of course, the gardening community. My own father was close to the Kmart and Franks organizations and can remember his positive influence.

With Deepest Regrets,

-Jack and Nancy Waters
