This review is from: Gardenwalks in the Pacific Northwest: Beautiful Gardens along the Coast from Oregon to British Columbia (Gardenwalks Series) (Paperback)
I was looking forward to colorful photos and there aren't any. I wanted to give this book as a gift for a friend who loves gardens, but ended up keeping the book myself because I didn't think it was good enough to give my friend. Note to authors: If you write a book about gardens, it MUST have COLOR PHOTOS!!
