Timber Press

Timber Press was founded in the USA over 30 years ago and its head office is now in Portland, Oregon. The very first book Timber Press published in 1978 is still in print. J. D. Vertrees's Japanese Maples, now fully revised and updated by British maple expert Peter Gregory. This was to be the first of a a listof quality books for keen gardeners, horticulturists, botanists, naturalists, and landscape professionals.

Timber is now a global publisher, with authors in Europe, the USA, New Zealand, Israel, Japan, and Australia, to name a few. Many authors are also plant explorers who travel throughout the world's wild places, and as a result the Timber catalogue reflects the planet's rich plant life.

In 2006, Timber was purchased by Workman Publishing, whose various imprints include Artisan, Algonquin Books of Chapel Hill, and Storey Publishing. Timber continues to maintain its editorial independence in London and Oregon, but works closely with its colleagues at Storey and Workman to reach the widest possible audience for their complementary gardening lists.
