Timber Press – Region – Southwest Books
The Southwest Native Plant Primer introduces 235 wildflowers, grasses, vines, cacti, and trees recommended for gardeners of any skill level interested in choosing native plants for a garden that makes a positive environmental impact. It covers a broad area including New Mexico, Arizona, and the southern portions of Utah and Colorado. Though there are vast differences between locations within this region there are also surprising commonalities that this book will highlight. As the Southwest grows in population, but water becomes perilously scarce, this book focuses on the role that native plants and water-wise planting can have in fostering sustainability for all life in the region. In doing so The Southwest Native Plant Primer fills an important gap in literature about gardening in the region, serving as a resource to new and old gardeners alike, providing up to date information about current best practices for gardening in the Southwest.
From the towering cliffs of Zion to the ancient dwellings of Mesa Verde; from the bighorn sheep of Arches National Park to the Martian-looking landscapes of the Petrified Forest—each trail featured in Southwest Canyon Country’s Best Nature Walks beckons with the promise of adventure and discovery.
But these are not the epic treks of seasoned adventurers or the grueling expeditions of intrepid explorers. Instead, these are brief excursions—often chosen for being less crowded and for their proximity to the road—that can be enjoyed by families, solo travelers, and nature enthusiasts of all ages and abilities. Whether you’re seeking a peaceful retreat into the wilderness or simply craving a breath of fresh air, this book has something for everyone.
