A must have for desert gardeners
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 16 years ago
Living in Las Vegas, my water concious conversion from grass to drought tolerant plants and landscape had to be well thought out. It also had to be an efficient, long lasting, and effective action. This book helped in all of those areas.
A Must for Native Gardeners in New Mexico
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 24 years ago
Judith Phillips books are a godsend to those of us who garden in the high desert. She understands our highly varied zones and which plants thrive in each area. The illustrations and codes are very helpful. I am a public librarian and have bought many copies of her three books for our library and to use at home. Rather than hitting your head against the wall and wasting precious water trying to make something grow that does not belong in your area, Judith helps you create a great garden that will thrive and be relatively low maintenance. Her suggestions on plant combinations are particularly useful. The only criticism I have is one that happened at the printers: the pages in the back of Plants for Native Gardens which lists a chart of adaptive plants are not numbered. I highly recommend all three of Phillips' fine books.
