The next section is about plant diseases and bugs in the area. The book then dives into soil types in the PNW, how they differ, and how to use what you have effectively. It provides a much more in-depth explanation that I have found anywhere else. The first part of the book is about understanding the climate differences in the PNW, and how one area just a few miles away from another can have a radically different climate. Must Have For PNW Gardeners An excellent reference for any gardeners in the Pacific Northwest. The section on plants best suited for the PNW with full color pictures is worth the purchase alone. There is something for all gardening levels in this book. I highly recommend Gardening in the Pacific Northwest for new gardeners and gardeners who've been working in this climate for a while. So many helpful tips, tricks and ideas! I'm a little bummed this book isn't being released earlier in December as it would have made a fantastic Christmas gift. Gardening in the PNW has an extensive list with full color photos of garden design and container planting. "We'll cover the eight basic subregions in this part of the country and discuss how climate impacts gardeners in each area." The PNW has very diverse weather and I really like the eight subregions so I could find my specific area and tailor this book to me. They do a fantastic job of breaking these states into eight subregions. ![]() "For the purpose of this guide, the Pacific Northwest includes the geographical regions of Oregon, Washington and southwest British Columbia, on both sides of the Cascade Mountains." Here is how Paul and Amy classify the PNW in their book: I'm never quite sure when I see Pacific Northwest listed if the region actually includes me. The book is full of beautiful photos and an extensive list of plants, shrubs, trees and vines with full color pictures of each species listed. ![]() I highly recommend purchasing the book and pouring over the ideas and full color photos while you dream of spring. It is released on December 27, just in time for full-on winter in the PNW. Gardening in the Pacific Northwest is the perfect winter pick-me-up.
