An outstanding publication. Filled with more Northwest botanical than most. The author is so thoroughly informed, it would be an experience to meet her in person.
The purchase experience rivals the book. Both are marvelous. Will look for this provider again.

I’ve been growing NW natives for 25 years with successes and failures (and a lot of fun). With this book, I would have had many fewer failures! I’ve pulled it out a dozen times already this season and it’s never failed me. Excellent photos, descriptions, and propagation instructions. It looks like a tea-table treasure, but it performs like a combination field guide and cultivation handbook. Highly recommended.

This is the best book on NW natives I’ve found. Great pictures, descriptions and very complete. If I could only have one native plant book this’d be the one. Worth the pirce
