At Last, Difinitive Northern Gardening Book!: This is a really great book for anyone gardening in the north, not just Alaska. Filled with the advice of the experts all over the state, and research from the Georgeson Botanical Gardens at the University of Alaska Fairbanks (formerly the UAF's Experiment Farm). Generously illustrated (over 200 charts, diagrams and photos), it actually has 352 pages if you count the 17 page index! I am very impressed with this book, as you can tell!
Great For Alaska Gardening: Got this for my wife and I we live on the kenai and have a small Ranch theres not a hole lot out there for growing in Alaska but found this great book by Ann Roberts. if you live in Our Great state and do allot of gardening this book is a great guide. Thanks Ann
Finally!! Real advice for Alaskan Gardeners: I was so happy to find this book after months of relying on Canadian gardening references! I'm pleased to see an honest book from real "home" gardeners who have faced the challenges of gardening in the arctic/subarctic regions of Alaska. The author honestly presents the challenges that face gardeners in different regions of Alaska and several methods they have used to deal with them. While there is heavy reliance on information provided from the Alaska Cooperative Extension (ACE - University of Alaska Fairbanks) this isn't quite as annoying as it would be in the lower 48... the ACE team up there is very willing to investigate and recommend non-conventional gardening techniques if they work! I'm glad I found this book and feel much better prepared to start our garden when we move there!
