From the Gardener's Perspective
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 15 years ago
Another handsome piece of work from Westcliffe: oblong book, blind-stamped cloth over hardback boards with a sewn binding. 143 pp. Heavy stock. Terrific photographs. "Colorado's gardens are as diverse as the state's various ecosystems. Gardeners along the warm, dry Western Slope cultivate a much different array of plants than their counterparts in the mountains, or even those on the eastern plains." This book features "72 gardens singled out for their beauty and adherence to plants indicative of their area. From gardens that grace the grasslands zone near Loveland, Denver, and Colorado Springs, to picturesque plots of the pinon-juniper woodlands zone in Grand Junction, Montrose, and Dolores, to the hardy perennials of the higher montane in Vail, Telluride, and Crested Butte, these Colorado gardeners have adapted to their individual climates."

This book features photos of gorgeous Colorado gardens and interesting information about how each gardener planned, prepared, planted, etc. their garden. It has given me many ideas for my own flower garden, and it would make an ideal gift for any Colorado gardener -- or for anyone who is interested in how our gardening is different from other parts of the country.From the front cover: "[The book] features seventy-two gardens singled out for their beauty and adherence to plants indicative of their area. ...Proctor's striking images depict the serenity and charm inherent in each garden...Geargia Garnsey, a Denver-based writer, provides lively profiles of each garden and the gardener who tends it."
