About this Event
Celebrate the release of two new guides in Timber Press's In Bloom series: In Bloom: Western Washington & Oregon and In Bloom: Eastern Washington & Oregon. These practical, pocket-sized field guides help hikers, wildflower enthusiasts, and beginners identify the region's most common and intriguing blooms with full-color photographs and accessible descriptions.
Whether it be colorful, showy plants, or the bizarre and deadly, these and more are presented here in these two easy-to-use field guides that feature text and photographs of some of Eastern Washington, Western Washington, and Oregon’s more common and interesting wildflowers.
Mark Turner has more than thirty years of experience photographing garden and native plants for books and magazines. He brings the eye of an artist together with the mind of a botanist to create clear, high-content photographs that enable viewers to learn about and understand the characteristics of the plants he photographs. Mark is a past board member of the Washington Native Plant Society and maintains a website about Pacific Northwest wildflowers (pnwflowers.com). He is also a well-regarded speaker on the garden club and native plant circuit and gives workshops on both plants and photography.
