Thank you NetGalley and Lorene Forkner for an advanced reader copy in exchange for an honest review.

I have lived in Washington for more than half my life, and am an avid gardener and cooking teacher. I enjoy teaching students about our great state, and this book will be a great companion resource both personally and professionally.

I love the diagrams included in each chapter and ESPECIALLY love the "to do this month" lists for every month. The sections about pest management are really convenient. There are so many seriously useful resources, this whole post could go into every chapter talking about how helpful and informative each page is. This is great for gardeners of all levels.

This is truly a great book and I highly recommend it to anyone interested in gardening.
