Photography by Doreen L. Wynga
Written with Lorene Edwards Forkner
This sumptuous book features sixteen gardens in the Pacific Northwest region. Wynga has worked as a photographer for over thirty years. She has worked for Monrovia Nursery since 2004 and her photography has been featured in several books (including one of my personal favorites, The Tapestry Garden).
The gardens included in this book cover a wide range from woodland sanctuaries to lakeside retreats. Each garden is covered in a 14-20 page spread with a brief description followed by gorgeous photos. This is a book to get lost in!
There are several gardens in the Portland area and many which are located in northern Washington.
(I could not find any promotional photos from the book so these shots will have to suffice).
The Spirited Garden is available in book stores. You can also find a copy on Amazon.
Note: I received a complimentary copy of this book from Rizzoli Publishers in exchange for an honest review.
