About this title

Synopsis:

This illustrated guide is a complete reference to the unique specialty nurseries in Sonoma County, a beautiful rural area known as wine country in California. Like the thousands who come each year to visit the region's wineries, Sonoma County has become a destination for all who appreciate the distinctive nurseries that dot the countryside. The Guide to Sonoma County Nurseries helps travelers learn about these nurseries, plan their "nursery hopping" trips, and locate each nursery using detailed directions. The nurseries (67 in this first edition) are introduced by color photos (160 total), days and hours of operation, plant offerings, histories and profiles, and garden tales shared by the owners and staff. Several comprehensive indexes help readers plan their trips; others, like Books for Gardeners and Websites for Gardeners, serve as gardening resources. A colorful map is included.

From the Publisher:

In a land filled with towering redwoods, majestic oaks, 76 miles of spectacular Pacific Ocean beaches, and more microclimates than you can count, sits one of the largest concentration of specialty nurseries in the state of California. The same conditions that lure top quality vineyards and wineries to the region draws some of the country's most talented horticulturists and nurseries. Rita and Michel Ter Sarkissoff combine their knowledge of these nurseries and the region to offer this detailed and colorful reference for gardeners everywhere.
