This is the concept of \"right plant, right place.\" The most successful garden or landscape is based on the process of defining the environment (the \"place\") first and then finding the \"plant\" or \"plants\" which fit that defined environment. It also points out the great wealth of plant material which we PNW'ers can use in our gardens and landscapes.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe book organizes thousands of plants into general categories such as Native Plants for garden use, Basic Types (tree, shrub, perennial, etc.), Environmental Needs (sun\/shade, soil type), Bloom Time, Resistances to Pests and other Problems, Ornamental Features, Design Style, and many other decision-influencing categories. It finishes with more than one hundred mail-order sources of plants, bulbs, and seeds.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eA small sampling of the more than 125 lists within these broader categories: \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003ci\u003eChoice Native Perennials\u003c\/i\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003ci\u003ePNW Natives for a Rock Garden\u003c\/i\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003ci\u003eSmall to Medium Flowering Trees\u003c\/i\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003ci\u003eTrees for Screening\/Background\u003c\/i\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003ci\u003eDisease-Resistant Roses\u003c\/i\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003ci\u003eFall-Planted, Spring-Blooming Bulbs\u003c\/i\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003ci\u003eHardy Succulent Plants (Including Cacti)\u003c\/i\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003ci\u003eSeeds to Scatter Sow in Fall\u003c\/i\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003ci\u003ePlants for Clay\/Heavy Soil\u003c\/i\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003ci\u003eBetween Pavers, Flagstone, Stepping Stones\u003c\/i\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003ci\u003eLate Summer into Fall Bloomers\u003c\/i\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003ci\u003eSlopes \u0026amp; Erosion Management\u003c\/i\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003ci\u003eHell Strip\u003c\/i\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003ci\u003eSlug \u0026amp; Snail Resistant Plants\u003c\/i\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003ci\u003ePet-Toxic Plants\u003c\/i\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003ci\u003eAttracting Birds, Bees, Butterflies, and Hummingbirds\u003c\/i\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003ci\u003eContainer Plants\u003c\/i\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003ci\u003eCutflowers\u003c\/i\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003ci\u003eThe Small Garden\u003c\/i\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003ci\u003eA Children's Garden\u003c\/i\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003ci\u003eThe Flower Border - By Color\u003c\/i\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003ci\u003eColorful Foliage\u003c\/i\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003ci\u003eWeeping Trees\u003c\/i\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003ci\u003eFragrant Flowers\u003c\/i\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003ci\u003eAn English Cottage-Style Garden\u003c\/i\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003ci\u003e\"Ornamedibles\"\u003c\/i\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003ci\u003eMail-Order Plant Companies\u003c\/i\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003cbr\u003eAltogether, these lists comprise several thousand different kinds of plants, emphasizing the great wealth of plant material which PNWers can use in gardens and landscapes. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eSorry, no photos. This book's system of selecting plants emphasizes a focus on environmental conditions or other selection factors. This results in the most successful garden and landscape. It does require follow up research including a look at photos, of course, to determine the best match to the gardener's liking. To help, the book includes a section on \"How to Find More information Along with Plant Photos on the Internet.\" A book with photos, on the other hand, would either be too big or would need to be edited to but a few selected plants. Such a book would require follow-up research to determine exact match to environment, as well. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\"Selecting Plants for Pacific Northwest Gardens\" is the ultimate guide to making appropriate plant choices and will prove to be an indispensable reference for every amateur gardener, landscape designer, and horticultural professional.\u003cbr\u003e","brand":"Independently Published","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":50482721849618,"sku":"9798596468861","price":25.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0831\/4771\/8930\/files\/img_1bbee897-13da-4ba0-ac23-30990e95bd50.jpg?v=1730350235","url":"https:\/\/surprise-castle.myshopify.com\/products\/selecting-plants-for-pacific-northwest-gardens-a-list-of-lists-curated-for-home-gardeners-landscapers-designers-architects-nurserypeople-garden-9798596468861","provider":"Surprise Castle","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
