"This is...a resource to keep at hand whenever, and wherever, you might be thinking about plants for your garden.... If you garden in the Pacific Northwest, or even nearby, you simply must have The Pacific Northwest Plant Locator."

- Richard G. Turner, in Pacific Horticulture, January/February/March 2001, Books

"If you love plants but get frustrated when you have to search through dozens of catalogs and lists for what you want, have I got news for you. What you need is...The Pacific Northwest Plant Locator...it lists every plant - I mean everything - you could dream of buying."

- Ann Lovejoy, author and garden columnist, Seattle Post-Intelligencer, "Plant Finding Made Simple"   September 1, 1999

"Plant collectors will love this book; landscape designers will find it indispensable."

- Marianne Binetti, columnist, Seattle Post-Intelligencer, "Dig In - Books"   September 8, 1999

"Christmas shopping time. I was looking for Cornus controversa 'Variegata' so I checked the Susans book (Pacific Northwest Plant Locator). Several listings...we got a really nice plant with a beautiful branch structure from a vendor that we would never have found without the book."

- Dave Eckerdt, Salem Hardy Plant Society member

"We had someone call from Seattle last Saturday looking for Muscari comosum 'Plumosum' that was listed in the Plant Locator. It works! She will be coming in May to pick them up."

- Owners of Dancing Oaks Nursery, Oregon

"Congratulations! It's a wonderful addition to useful gardening books."

- Barbara J. Barton, author of Gardening by Mail

"Thank you, thank you, thank you....my RHS Plant Finder (Great Britain's plant sourcebook, produced by the Royal Horticultural Society) is tired of getting drooled on."

- Hazel O'Brien, gardener

"The postman brought the copy of this excellent publication to the door today. It is very impressive indeed."

- John Stockdale, publisher of the CD-ROM edition of Great Britain's RHS Plant Finder.

"This book seems sure to become a well-thumbed, dirt-smudged classic."

- Anne Nelson, columnist, Southwest Community Connection, Portland, OR

"This reference will surely become a valued tool for plant lovers throughout the region and beyond... If you are a nursery, large or small, do the horticultural community a favor and submit your plant list."

- Stephanie Feeney, author of The Northwest Gardener's Resource Guide, writing in Pacific Horticulture, Winter 1999.

"...This directory should prove indispensable not only for finding specific trees, shrubs or flowers, but as a guide to all the specialty nurseries we are blessed with in the Northwest."

- Valerie Easton, library manager for the Elisabeth C. Miller Library, Center for Urban Horticulture in Seattle, writing in the Seattle Times, October 3, 1999

"We love your effort and want to carry it in our specialty nursery."

- Karen Souza, Fremont Gardens

"What a huge undertaking! And an extraordinarily useful one. I've spent some time going through it and am very impressed with the range of cultivars represented. It is amazing how much more is available now than there was 10 years ago - but, as you have accurately determined, the problem has been connecting gardeners with the sources for the plant(s) they want to buy."

- Marie McKinsey, webmother, www.nwgardening.com

"The book is also helpful in sorting out the myriad nomenclature mysteries of hort-dom. I had been bewildered when one of my favorite species of roses, Rosa rubrifolia, disappeared from the rose catalogs. Looking it up in the Plant Locator, I found it has been reassigned the name of Rosa glauca. Not only do I now know its proper name, I have 15 sources for the plant, should I wish to give it as a gift, or should my own cherished specimen ever go belly up and need replacing."

- Anne Nelson, columnist, Southwest Community Connection, Portland, OR

'This year's Book of Lists Award goes to The Pacific Northwest Plant Locator."

- Sharon Wooton, columnist, The Herald, Everett, WA

"In a totally unscientific and arbitrary test of the book, I looked up several plants that caught my eye in Scotland this summer, and The Plant Locator had them listed. If the book proves to be popular with gardeners, the authors plan to update the book annually. Here's hoping it becomes a best seller!"

- Lynn Lustberg, columnist, Garden Showcase, "Books for Gardeners - Hunting Down the Right Plant"  November 1999

"Here is an excellent resource book for finding those special plants to team up with our hostas and shade plants, or any other plant your garden desires."

- Northwest Hosta & Shade Gardening Society Newsletter

"My heartfelt and oh so grateful congratulations on your book. Since picking it up on Saturday, I've referred to it THREE times for Oregonian articles and each time found what I needed. I'm amazed."

- Ketzel Levine, National Public Radio's Doyenne of Dirt

"It really gets used."

- Vern Nelson, garden writer, columnist and lecturer, Portland, OR
