This gardening book concentrates on blooms & color in the garden throughout our "5 seasons" - Early Spring, Spring, Summer, Fall and Winter. Over 175 color photos (taken in and around Hood River, OR, Underwood and/or White Salmon, WA at an average elevation of 400 feet) & information, arranged by season, include: bulbs, annuals, perennials, shrubs, trees, and vines that grow throughout the various climates we encounter here in the Columbia River Gorge Area.
This book, in general, covers our average USDA Zone 6 area, and talks about average frost dates and USDA zones for the different elevations, average rainfalls, with a handy month-by-month reminder section. There are pockets on the inside of the front and back covers to collect plant tags and seed packets. There are also wide side margins to jot down notes during your gardening season.
This book is written by local gardener & artist Terry Kinney, to help others get the same satisfaction (and sometimes frustration) from flower gardening that she has gotten over the last 20 years.
All of the illustrations were done by Portland artist Lisa Kaser - check out more of her artwork at www.lisakaser.com.
