This book is an updated revision of the award-winning, best-seller first edition. It is a how-to-book for the newcomer, the novice or the long-time resident of the Mountain West. All altitudes are discussed with guidelines for landscape design for the city as well as the country home. The gardener learns soil-making, planting & unique plant protection techniques against such disasters as flood, hail, frost, lightning, snow load, deep-freezing in winter & unseasonable weather. Pruning direction is state-of-the-art. Specifics are given for water-saving techniques & the five kinds of irrigation used in the Mountain West. Proven methods of successful planting of windbreaks are emphasized, as well as composting for alkaline soils. Lists of trees, shrubs, hedges, groundcovers, annuals & the latest in perennials are included. A pronunciation guide accompanies each listing. Water gardens & rock gardens are naturals in the Mountain West. Azaleas & rhododendrons are no longer a wished-for addition to the garden with author-tested methods. Barbara Hyde, a native of Colorado, is a retired Cooperative Extension horticulturist with undergraduate & graduate degrees in horticulture & a lifetime of experience. She regards her garden as a laboratory, friend & refuge.

Drawing from his own considerable gardening experience and expertise, as well as leaning on the wisdom of the people he calls "The Zen Masters of the Western Garden," David Wann gathers a mix of stories, how-to advice, and simple, doable projects that are ideal for gardeners in the high and arid landscapes of the West. This covers topics such as strategic gardening (how to coax fruits and vegetables from a sun-parched garden), pest-proof planting, choosing the right varieties of edibles for the region, how to become a seed-starting maniac, a Farmer's Almanac approach to gardening (plant peas when the first cottonwood leaves appear!), as well as profiles of colorful local gardens and gardeners.
