Recensioner i media

"Kruckeberg and Chalker-Scott’s book will surely be a go-to resource for many gardeners in the Northwest. If you have a dog eared, misplaced, lent out or never owned previous editions of this detailed guide, you’ll be impressed by the third edition, which is practical and attractive."
