Buying advice

When choosing a Pacific Northwest gardening book, consider your primary interest: ornamental plants, vegetables, native species, or medicinal herbs. Look for books with region-specific climate, soil, and pest advice. High ratings and recent publication dates are good indicators of relevance. Most books in this category focus on the maritime climate west of the Cascades; if you are east of the mountains, look for books that address that drier climate.
