It also points out the great wealth of plant material which we PNW'ers can use in our gardens and landscapes. The 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.
