Publisher Comments

This comprehensive reference describes plants native to the Pacific Northwest—the ferns and conifers; annuals, perennials, and grasses; and flowering trees and shrubs that populate and define this distinctive region. Featured are some 530 subject species that occur naturally from southwestern Alaska to Oregon's border with California, and from the coast east to Idaho, plants that are not only beautiful ornamentals but important components of habitat diversity.

Illustrated throughout with nearly 600 eye-popping color photographs and original pen-and-ink drawings, the book is smartly separated by plant type into five encyclopedic sections. Detailed descriptions include reommendations for cultivation and siting, from streambanks to parking strips, and lists suggesting natives for particular garden situations or themes—arid or sodden; hedgerows and meadows; hummingbird and rock gardens—concludes the book.

Gardeners and conservationists alike will find much of value and interest in this impeccably presented and illustrated regional resource, which is sure to become a classic on the subject.

Review

"Loaded with good suggestions on how best to use natives in our gardens." Valerie Easton, Seattle Times

Review

"Whether looking to create a low-maintenance garden that requires little water in summer or to create a haven to attract birds, butterflies, and other native animals, gardeners and conservationists will find much value and interest in this impeccably presented publication." Library Journal

NWgardener , February 22, 2012
This is a wonderful book. I call it the "Bible" for gardening with native plants. When I started incorporating more native plants into my garden (our garden received the Portland Audubon Soviety's Backyard Habitat Certication) I was looking for a comprehensive book that would give me detailed information on what type of plants to plant where in my garden. It has descriptions of a wide variety of native plants and allows users to expand beyond the usual Oregon grape and red flowering currant suggestions. This book is a must- have for any aspiring or experienced native gardener.
