- Gardening With Native Plants of the Pacific Northwest
~Usually Ships Within 2 Business Days
- -Arthur R. Kruckeberg / Paperback 282 pages, 2nd Edition / Published January 1997
If you want to identify native plants, get an Audubon guide. If you want to grow them, get this book.
It discusses cultivation methods; soils and other environmental factors; where in the region specific plants will live;
where to find (and where NOT to get) plants, seeds, and cuttings; what sorts of insects and diseases harm our native
plants; etc. Good reference for any Northwest gardener from Oregon through BC, whether you're east or west of the
Cascades. Some historical uses for specific plants (culinary, medicinal, etc.) are also briefly given.
The book's real drawbacks are its lack of color pictures (there are very few), and its sometimes slightly erroneous
descriptions. I suggest coupling this book on growing native plants with a good Audubon guide if you're trying to
identify what plants are growing wild on your land.
