A Jewel in Seattle
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 14 years ago
A truly remarkable story of urban renewal in the heart of Seattle. The Streissguths took a barren piece of hillside and turned it into an exquisite garden for the entire city of Seattle (and the nation) to enjoy. Written in a cheerful and informative way (lots of garden tips), it is easy to pick up again and again. The reader hopes the Streissguths will follow this up with a large book of photographs of more of the plants and the garden layout.
