Book Description

March 1, 1998
Enjoying a temperate climate year-round and lots of rain and sun, the San Francisco Bay Area is ideal for gardening -- as the thousands of fanatic gardeners around the bay will attest. Yet, until now, no one has assembled a comprehensive guidebook to the hundreds of resources in this garden-rich region. Writer and former professional gardener Ron Sullivan comes to the rescue with The Garden Lover's Guide: San Francisco Bay Area. Her complete, easy-to-use, and inviting handbook covers all the nurseries, equipment and supply stores, accessory outlets, flower and garden shows, special events, classes, clubs, tours, and bookstores with a green thumb around the bay. Discover hidden gardens, festive annual bazaars, outdoor sales, and so much more. For both novice and seasoned gardeners, this is the long-awaited guide to everything the Bay Area garden scene has to offer.?

5.0 out of 5 stars Necessary resource for Central CA gardeners, August 24, 1998
This review is from: The Garden Lover's Guide: San Francisco Bay Area (Paperback)
A must for nursery-hopping gardeners in the San Francisco Bay Area. Extensive listings of a diverse slew of nurseries (and related businesses), garden clubs, classes and other resources is well- (and amusingly-) written. Sidebars throughout the book hold forth on various gardening issues: natives versus lawns, why to use botanical names, the egregious chopping that passes for pruning done by street tree crews, and so forth. Well worth the paltry asking price.
