Allan Mandell of Portland, Oregon continues to pursue his specialty of garden photography in his new book Garden Retreats: Creating an Outdoor Sanctuary, which will be published by Chronicle Books in March.
This project, a collaboration with garden writer Barbara Ashmun, features gardens of Oregon, Washington and British Columbia. Mandell, whose work appears in magazines such as Fine Gardening, Sunset and Garden Design, received two 1999 Quill & Trowel Awards for Photography from the Garden Writers Association of America.
