Editorial Reviews

Review
Alaska Gardening Guide is a thorough review of vegetable gardening in Alaska... -- Patricia Holloway, Associate Professor of Horticulture, UAF

Ann has not written a gardening guide, but a complete encyclopedia on gardening. -- Virgil Severns, Agricultural Extension Agent, ret.

Exhaustive, plain-spoken and generously illustrated, it will soon become THE definitive and indispensable reference guide... -- Linden Staciokas, Garden author and columnist for the Fairbanks Daily News-Mine

Product Description
If you can garden well in Alaska, with its immense size and varied climates, you should be able to garden in any northern area, from Canada to Maine, from Norway to northern Oregon. Alaska Gardening Guide is a hands-on, how-to book which reveals the secrets of generations of experts in cold climate gardening. It provides Alaskans (whether cheechako or sourdough) with the special knowledge they need to succeed in their state, and other northern gardeners the techniques that will help them meet their own unique growing challenges, no matter where they live and garden.

Alaska Gardening Guide is arranged in three parts; a section on planting basics for the beginning gardener, a more in-depth section dealing with specific problems encountered in the various areas in Alaska (like cold soil, premature bolting to seed, or heavy precipitation), and a final section packed full of techniques and tips for raising particular vegetables.

5.0 out of 5 stars At Last, Difinitive Northern Gardening Book!, November 18, 2000
By A Customer
This is a really great book for anyone gardening in the north, not just Alaska. Filled with the advice of the experts all over the state, and research from the Georgeson Botanical Gardens at the University of Alaska Fairbanks (formerly the UAF's Experiment Farm). Generously illustrated (over 200 charts, diagrams and photos), it actually has 352 pages if you count the 17 page index! I am very impressed with this book, as you can tell!

5.0 out of 5 stars Finally!! Real advice for Alaskan Gardeners, September 1, 2008
By Jennine L. Wardle (Kenmore, WA United States) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
I was so happy to find this book after months of relying on Canadian gardening references! I'm pleased to see an honest book from real "home" gardeners who have faced the challenges of gardening in the arctic/subarctic regions of Alaska. The author honestly presents the challenges that face gardeners in different regions of Alaska and several methods they have used to deal with them. While there is heavy reliance on information provided from the Alaska Cooperative Extension (ACE - University of Alaska Fairbanks) this isn't quite as annoying as it would be in the lower 48... the ACE team up there is very willing to investigate and recommend non-conventional gardening techniques if they work!

I'm glad I found this book and feel much better prepared to start our garden when we move there!
