Gardening in the Pacific Northwest

Gardening in the Pacific Northwest is an online discussion forum about gardening in the Pacific region of Canada, Alaska and the northwestern continental United States. The forum is a good place for locals to discuss gardening specific to the area and for people from other areas to learn about the region near the location of the University of British Columbia Botanical Garden.
