Editorial Reviews

From Library Journal

Gardeners in every state in the union would appreciate a book like this. As it is, however, gardeners of Arizona, New Mexico, and Texas have a treat in store. Describing over 350 species of cacti, trees, shrubs, wildflowers, and vines, Miller leads readers from the "dreaming stage" to the "actual stage" of choosing, planting, and maintaining native plants. Focusing on what is appropriate for the generally hot and dry climate of the Southwest and emphasizing low costs and simple maintenance, he provides information on landscape design, water and energy conservation, and habitat characteristics. The over 240 good color photos make it easy for gardeners to see the possibilities, and readers will probably start mapping their yards even before putting the book down. Recommended for regional collections.

Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: Landscaping with Native Plants of Texas and the Southwest (Natural World) (Paperback)
I found this book in our local library and liked it so well that I am pruchasing one. The plant listings and discriptions are concise and complete. There us information on propagation, altitude requirements, alternate species and group planting suggestions. All in all, a very good book for the high desert and native plant gardener, particularly for the new desert dweller.

4.0 out of 5 stars Great reference book, February 17, 2012
This review is from: Landscaping with Native Plants of Texas and the Southwest (Natural World) (Paperback)
This book has very helpful descriptions of many of Texas's native plants. I was a bit suprised to see a full-page picture of a Saguaro cactus gracing the cactus section, though!
