For Stephanie Feeney, The Northwest Gardeners’ Resource Directory was a labor of love for over 15 years. Sadly, Feeney passed away this year, yet her amazing contribution to the gardening world lives on in this new edition completely updated by Debra Prinzing. Serious Northwest gardeners know that this is the definitive sourcebook for anyone obsessed with gardening and all its pleasures. And this 9th edition has a major new feature: website addresses. As always, the directory makes it a snap to find nurseries (complete with addresses, hours, driving directions, and full descriptions); international, national, and regional clubs and organizations for every conceivable horticultural interest; reviews of books and magazines; mail-order sources; and much more. A portion of proceeds from the sale of this book will be donated to the Whatcom Hospice Foundation in memory of Stephanie Feeney.
