Renowned Southwest gardening experts Mary Irish and Judith Phillips share their firsthand experiences with gardening in Arizona and New Mexico. The southwestern United States is home to some of the most beautiful landscapes and formations in the entire country. Alongside its famed attractions - the Grand Canyon, Rio Grande Gorge, and Havasu Falls among them - the region caters to a vast array of unique plant life, specially adapted to thrive in warm, dry climates as well as at high elevations. In Arizona & New Mexico Getting Started Garden Guide, authors and local gardening legends Mary Irish and Judith Phillips feature region-specific advice on planting, growing, and caring for more than 150 of the best-performing and most desirable plants across Arizona and New Mexico. Flowers and grasses, desert perennials and trees, shrubs and vines . . . this plant-by-plant guide includes useful information for the novice and the experienced gardener alike, paying special attention to low-water-use species that enjoy the specific climates of these two states. From the spectacular blooms of the claret-cup hedgehog to the puffballs of the Baja fairy duster, each plant is featured with full-color photography, detailed planting and care instructions, and recommendations for plants that can peacefully coexist with them. With an intuitive layout, pronunciation guides, a custom icon key for readily accessible plant facts, and color-coded USDA zone maps, Arizona & New Mexico Getting Started Garden Guide is the simplest, most foolproof plant manual for gardening everywhere from Carlsbad to Kingman.

We just moved from IL to AZ and have no idea what,when,how to plant. This book is the perfect primer! I'm taking it to the local nurseries with post-it bookmarks so as to not look like a goof! It has been like moving to a different planet and learning the local fern and fauna has been exciting yet intimidating. This book will help newcomer and longtime resident alike.
A lot of information. Wish I had read this before I started a new garden. Suggestions for companion plants are very good. Helpful information about care for each plant. I was disappointed to find that Arizona Ash is missing completely from the book.
Excellent book. Good information for choosing and caring for plants. Some of the photographs did not help with plant id. Overall very good.
Great book with a lot of concise information on the care of some of the very best plants to grow in a desert climate.
Another great book by Mary Irish. A must have for every SW gardener. . .
