Publisher's Note Landscape gardening involves a partnership between gardener and environment and an understanding of why and how plants grow where they do. Phillips takes the reader on an illustrated garden tour through the rich ecosystems of the Southwest and into gardens she has designed in the upland forests, shrub/desert grasslands, riparian oases, and arid city plots. Her plant palette includes native trees, shrubs, wildflowers, and grasses, and embraces dozens of adaptive plants that will flourish in the demanding conditions of the upland and desert West.
Industry Reviews "If you live in the high-mountain West, and you are dealing with an arid city plot, desert grassland, or upland forest environment, 'Natural by Design' will show you how to design, plant, and maintain a natural garden that's compatible with your ecosystem....The planting diagrams are easy to follow, and the sections covering integrated pest management (IPM), the garden diary, and maintaining the balance constitute advice to be heeded regardless of where you live."
