Straddling the US/Canadian border are the publications of Lone Pine, with authors from both sides. Three recent titles — “Water Garden Plants” , “Container Gardening,” and “Herb Gardening” — are each addressed to Washington and Oregon but certainly are applicable further north, too. These are very useful titles for beginners, with the Lone Pine trademark water-resistant covers and easy, travel guide style presentation. Stock up for the new gardeners you know.
