...a joy to browse even without the intention of planting a tree (although it would be difficult not to run out to the nursery to buy one after looking at all the glorious photographs)…..a good addition to any gardener's library. --Pacific Northwest Inlander, Spokane, WA
About the Author
The late LOIS HOLE was internationally renowned and beloved, both for her garden lore and her habit of hugging virtually everyone she met. With her passion for gardening and her business savvy, Lois helped turn a family business into a multi-million dollar garden centre. She also became the best-selling author of a series of down-to-earth gardening books, which have sold over 750,000 copies in Canada and the United States. Lois was a tremendous supporter of public education and served for years as a school board trustee and university chancellor. In her later life, she was honoured for her years of service by being appointed Lieutenant-Governor of Alberta, a position she held until her death in early 2005.

This review is from: Lois Hole's Favorite Trees & Shrubs (Paperback)
Organized in alphabetical order by popular name and thoroughly illustrated with quality photos, Lois Hole reviews 300 of her favorite trees and shrubs, with attention to the specific species or variety she recommends. Visually the book is pleasing with a concise, easy-to-read format that allows quick gleaning of info. She discusses the plants best features as well as basic characteristics. Lois Hole also includes special uses, location, tips, planting recommendations and maintenance. She addresses problem solving with some brief "what to plant where" lists. I consider this very helpful reference book an excellent addition to my library.

This review is from: Lois Hole's Favorite Trees & Shrubs (Paperback)
I haven't had a chance to use this book as much as I plan to--
I have her other books as well, Roses and Perennial Favorites. Being a Canadian source the recommendations are usually useful for Alaska. Sometimes it would be good to have a Zone actually specified. I have used the Rose book the most, which I purchased not from you, and some time ago. Being compact and with color pictures and good organization, they are useful to carry around when shopping for nursery stock, etc.
