Plant This!

This collection of plant profiles draws from the author’s popular gardening column and is illustrated with René Eisenbart’s lush watercolor paintings. Ketzel has selected 100 plants that thrive in the Pacific Northwest’s mild, soggy winters and temperate, dry summers, though readers anywhere can appreciate the beauty of the images and her practical advice. Organized by season, the book includes each plant’s Latin name, common name, basic needs, growing tips, and worst enemy. The profiles offer botanical information and stories from the garden, delivered with Ketzel’s trademark style and enthusiasm.
