Are you looking for a new and beautiful destination for a weekend getaway or a Sunday afternoon excursion? Purchase a copy of West Coast Gardenwalks and the fun has just begun! Alice Joyce has written a lyric, comprehensive and splendidly organized garden tour book that is guaranteed to delight gardeners and garden enthusiasts alike. It includes charming lodging recommendations and a captivating resource section for gardeners that describes shops and shows, periodicals and websites. My husband and I are currently pursuing Ms. Joyce's recommendations for the Winery Gardens of Napa and Sonoma Counties. As life-long residents of Northern California we are astounded that so many of these magical places were previously unknown to us--but no longer! We are planning a host of gardenwalks this spring and summer throughout the San Francisco Bay Area, including a much-anticipated visit to a Sebastopol nursery to view a "legendary" Dove tree in full bloom. We highly recommend West Coast Gardenwalks to anyone interested in discovering the beauty and variety of our many West Coast gardens. Thank you Ms. Joyce for creating this much-needed guide!
