Media reviews of this book:

"The Plant Locator is a type of book long needed by anyone who gardens seriously."

—Joanne S. Carpender, National Gardener, December 2004

"A must-have ... This indispensable reference makes it easy to locate hard-to-find plants."

Horticulture, October 2004

"An indispensable book that lists local nursery sources for all kinds of plants."

—Dulcy Mahar, Oregonian, July 1, 2004

"So many plants...so little place. The Plant Locator may not resolve the space issue, but will certainly make the plants easier to find. I intend to keep my copy close at hand."

Pacific Horticulture, Spring 2004

"Like a pair of Felco pruning shears, The Plant Locator: Western Region is carefully designed and well-built. This version is not only updated to provide the very latest on nurseries and plant availability at each, but it also has expanded from Oregon and Washington to cover 11 more states and British Columbia. I enthusiastically recommend this book to anyone who loves plants."

—Vern Nelson, Oregonian, April 22, 2004
