Hello fellow garden peeps. Do you have a garden related blog? Would you like to be part of my virtual blog tour for “101 English Garden Tips”? If so, read on for the details, then drop me a line.

I am looking for forty blogs, all garden related to visit during my virtual book tour. I will visit one blog per week. The dates will be set once I have forty blogs committed.

During the blog tour I will be having a treasure hunt. In order for participants to win a free, autographed copy of my book “101 English Garden Tips” they will need to follow along. There will be forty clues. The answers to the clues will be posted, one at a time, in each blog post. So, if they miss a week, they will need to go back and look for the clues.

During the “official day” that my article is posted on your blog I will visit periodically to make posts and answer questions. As long as the questions keep coming in, I will keep returning to your blog to answer them.

This will bring new readers to your blog which will increase your traffic flow. Sound like fun? Then do drop me a line, give me a link to your blog and join in the ring of 40 blogs that will be part of the virtual book tour to promote “101 English Garden Tips.”

I hope to hear from you soon!

Sheri
