For Stephanie Feeney, The Northwest Gardeners’ Resource Directory was a labor of love for over 15 years. Sadly, Feeney passed away this year, yet her amazing contribution to the gardening world lives on in this new edition completely updated by Debra Prinzing. Serious Northwest gardeners know that this is the definitive sourcebook for anyone obsessed with gardening and all its pleasures. And this 9th edition has a major new feature: website addresses. As always, the directory makes it a snap to find nurseries (complete with addresses, hours, driving directions, and full descriptions); international, national, and regional clubs and organizations for every conceivable horticultural interest; reviews of books and magazines; mail-order sources; and much more. A portion of proceeds from the sale of this book will be donated to the Whatcom Hospice Foundation in memory of Stephanie Feeney.

5.0 out of 5 stars
A must have for northwest gardeners,
By Tina Wilson (Arlington, Washington) - See all my reviews
This review is from: The Northwest Gardeners' Resource Directory: Western Oregon, Washington & Visitors' British Columbia (8th Edition) (Paperback)
It's a Northwest garden enthusiast's dream come true! Stephanie Feeney has outdone herself and compiled information in this edition I will refer to again and again. The list of nurserys to visit is complete with directions, business hours, the types of plants they sell and what they specialize in, e-mail addresses, and any other helpful information that may be of interest. I especially appreciate the geographic locator in the very back that breaks down locations by region that makes planning a garden outing a breeze. I even found a few nurseries in my small town that I didn't know existed. Other chapters include organizations that help gardeners, clubs, foundations, societies and volunteer opportunities, education, gardening with children and young people, internet gardening, publications, professional services, gardens to visit, shows and exhibits, and the list goes on. And it's all written in a friendly personal manner.

5.0 out of 5 stars
A fantastic resource,
By A Customer
This review is from: The Northwest Gardeners' Resource Directory (9th Edition) (Paperback)
As an information junkie, I'm always turning to the Internet for fast and up-to-date information for my garden design business. This book has replaced my computer for first-glance information. Debra provides significant editorial value in this reference, which I find dog-eared and well-used in a few short weeks. A must-have for any gardener in the Northwest, and a brilliant gift for a gardener new to the area.
