This review is from: Southwest Gardening (Paperback)

This book is well thought out, organized and highly informative. Trying to grow anything in the different soil and conditions found in the Southwest can be frustrating. Unless you can find a little gem of a book like this. It is like finding the key to a lost treasure chest. The book as a whole is indispensible. It walks you through soil condidions, there is a chapter on why the Southwest is different, has the usual list of perennials, annuals, trees, shrubs, etc. She also has a monthly calendar of to do items that I find extremely helpful. She includes cute sketches throughout the book and I am now studying the planning and landscaping examples in the back of the book. A MUST HAVE for any New Mexico gardener.

Although Roasalie died several years ago in her late 90's, she was still an active gardener. She was only sorry she couldn't do a new book and add lisianthus.
