It's a book that belongs on every designer's bookshelf."--Jane Berger "Garden Design Online" (9/11/2021 12:00:00 AM)<br><br>"<i>Private Gardens of the Pacific Northwest</i> is a book about dreams come to life. It shows the reader not only how a few talented individuals brought their pastoral visions to fruition, but provides inspiration on how any garden-lover can make their own fantasy a reality. With hundreds of vibrant images and descriptions that immerse the reader in the verdant playgrounds of the Pacific Northwest, the result is a book that isn't so much about identifying species and describing techniques, but one about how a particular space can evoke an emotion."--Kristine Lofgren "Gardener's Path" (9/7/2021 12:00:00 AM)<br><br>"Gardens do indeed provide green solace, and [this book] provides pages of balm. Perhaps it's more than coincidence that Seattle-based author Brian D. Coleman is also a practicing psychiatrist. <br> Wright's photography for this book is verdant eye candy, and if you want to try to replicate some of that magic, Coleman thoughtfully provides both common and Latin plant names in the photo captions. With this information, you can track down some specimens to add to a haven of your own creation."--Barbara Lloyd McMichael, The Bookmonger "Our Coast Magazine" (9/8/2021 12:00:00 AM)<br><br>"Browsing through this lushly illustrated book is like spending a day exploring secret spaces. Most readers won't be able to cultivate dream gardens like these, but anyone will be able to find inspiration for their own garden here."--Pauline Theriault "Library Journal Reviews" (8/1/2021 12:00:00 AM)<br><br>"Coleman's inspiring new book with photographer William Wright ... reflects the wide range of creativity homeowners bring to the plant love in our region."-- "Oregon Home Magazine" (7/29/2021 12:00:00 AM)<br><br>"... a little gem on our bookshelves."-- "Bookshelves & Teacups" (7/20/2021 12:00:00 AM)<br><br>"... the book is an immersive compendium of garden creation stories (the inspiration, the purpose, the sometimes less-than-stellar soil), all of which end happily with a stunning garden."-- "Sunset Magazine" (7/1/2021 12:00:00 AM)<br><p/><br></br><p><b> About the Author </b></p></br></br><b>Brian D.
