Review Enough information for anyone anywhere, not just on the coast, to make an informed start on a native plant garden. -- Cynthia Cushing, Western Living, November 2002 Book Description This new edition of a regional classic has been completely revised, updated, and expanded to include many more facets of gardening in the maritime Pacific Northwest. The authors offer comprehensive details for using native plants to transform any garden into a low-maintenance, water-wise paradise that utilizes the beauty of native plants and creates habitats for wildlife. About the Author Brenda Costanzo is a botanist who has spent twenty years researching, teaching and writing about native plant gardening. April Pettinger has been collecting native plant information and expertise for years. Excerpt. © Reprinted by permission. All rights reserved. Since the first edition of this book was published, there has been a dramatic increase in concern about environmental issues, followed by a growing interest in native plants. Coincidentally (or perhaps not), certain trends in horticultural fashion have emerged. The Northern European influence, the new naturalism and full-blown North American adaptation of the cottage garden are all examples of styles that encourage the use of native plants in the garden landscape. This concentration of interests has been auspicious for native plant gardeners. Mainstream gardeners are now demanding native plant materials. It follows that the pool of information about native plants and gardening with them is expanding. And of course, as in all fields of information today, so much more is available through the Internet and other forms of electronic media. Native plant gardening, a horticultural style now on the leading edge of garden practice, offers an opportunity to link our personal surroundings with the dazzling spectacle of nature's beauty.
