by Kristin Currin Author and Andrew Merrit Author

This guide details information on the growing trend of adding native plants to one’s garden and promoting the best choices for growers in the Pacific Northwest — profiling the fauna and dealing how gardeners can successfully grow them. There are many benefits to growing native plants (especially in the PNW) such as requiring less water, reduced maintenance, and are naturally more friendly to local pollinators. Cataloging 225 plants of different types, this book will add information on preparing the plants to get put in the ground, planting and subsequent maintenance, and considerations of different climate reasons. With all this in mind, it’ll provide the Washingtonian, Oregonian, or South British Columbian with what they’ll need to create beautiful and beneficial home gardens in the Pacific Northwest.
