These hand-crafted excursions feature many of the most famous Northwest horticultural landmarks as well as a healthy helping of those special out-of-the-way finds that put the spice in every day of exploration. Each tour comes complete with detailed driving directions and suggested tour timing as well. Ms. Feeney, who has been a professional restaurant reviewer and travel writer, incorporates suggestions for lunch en route as well as, perhaps, a pastry and a Northwest latte to get the explorations off on the right foot. Those who would like to extend the tours will find a charming inn or a bed and breakfast recommended, which itself often features something of botanical interest to the garden-loving guest.Maybe it's a trip by ferry to one of Seattle's neighboring islands, with a picnic along the waterfront in the glory of spring (Feeney even tells her readers which ferry to take and which parking lots have the best rates!); or, perhaps, it's a visit to a turn-of-the-century glass conservatory to enjoy the flowering cacti and orchids in late winter; or, for that matter, it may be the delights of a shop brimming with antique garden ornaments that draws one -- they are all opportunities to enjoy in Gardeners on the Go: Seattle.There are scores of travel and tour guides to the Pacific Northwest. First and foremost, this is a book for gardeners. You won't find the hours for the Museum of Flight listed or directions to the Space Needle -- although you will find directions to The Woodland Park Zoo in order to enjoy the innovative and award-winning 2-1/2 acre Rain Forest exhibit and the grounds designed by the famed Olmsted Brothers. You will also find directions to a little-knowngarden shop filled-to-bursting with 300-year-old Tunisian window grills, genuine Asian granite basins and lanterns and the gleanings of annual trips to the country village markets of France.In Gardeners on the Go: Seattle Feeney combines her encyclopedic knowledge of the region with the infectious enthusiasm that has been a hallmark of 7 editions of the popular Directory in leading her readers to some of the most exciting, most inspiring and sometimes the most well-hidden treasures that the adventuresome gardener can find within a day's journey of Seattle. Gardeners on the Go: Seattle is a personal invitation to join her on twenty trips of discovery.
