Description: More so than any other region, the gardens of Arizona, Nevada, New Mexico, West Texas, and southern California must be designed for rain or shine and must meet the challenge of growing in dramatically rugged conditions. Through vibrant photography, complete drawing plans, and detailed plant profiles, this book demonstrates that the most beautiful and easy-to-maintain gardens in this region are those that use native plants. Whether they live in desert areas or in coastal chaparral, lifelong and new residents from El Paso to L.A. will be able to create a lively and magnificently beautiful garden that is at once drought tolerant, environmentally friendly, low-maintenance, and affordable.
