3.0 out of 5 stars
Needed guide to local gardens,
By A Customer
This review is from: Garden Touring in the Pacific Northwest: A Guide T (Paperback)
This book provides good, solid reviews of the major public gardens complete with driving instructions, hours, amenities and "best times to view". Oregon, Washington and Vancouver are covered. It would be quite useful for a gardening enthusiast new to the area or to someone new to gardening. Unfortunately, most gardens covered are already familiar to gardeners who have lived here for a few years.
