Thalassa Cruso (Thalassa Cruso Hencken). Had her own gardening show in the Julia Child era of PBS. A Massachusetts gardener with fresh, frank advice. Well worth reading anything she wrote.
I laugh out loud when I read Cassandra's books. She is a great gardener and extremely funny. I remember her time of television. She was absolutely charming.
I didn't know of her - but came to comment how sad it was to hear of her early death and how well she would've done in the social media of today - she sounds like a TikTok natural!

I remember her and yes, I'm that old! But I didn't know about her show biz background. Thanks, Carol.
You're welcome. I think she also took classes at the NYBG.
In reading her "Five "Steps" I am surprised and delighted at her advice, which was way ahead of her time!
Yes, we could follow that advice today and it would make good sense.

Yes, she sounds like a fun person to know and garden with!
