Media Reviews
"The Wasowskis have created a gorgeous book, documenting their travels throughout the West in search of the most interesting and lovely native gardens to inspire us. Great colorphotos illustrate the many possibilities open to dry-climate gardeners who choose to limit themselves to plants that could grow in their yards even if no gardener were there to nurse them. The authors share their own considerable experience, and present plans and photos of gardens with specific themes..." -- Karen Van Epen

Easy Care Native Plants
by Patricia A. Taylor
North America's magnificent plant life has a peculiar history in that it is generally regarded as weedy material in its native meadows and woodlands and viewed as a horticultural treasure trove abroad. In Easy Care Native Plants, Patricia A. Taylor seeks to change this situation by emphasizing the elegant beauty, rather than the common naturalness, of American flora and by urging gardeners to capture the exquisite essence of its blossoms and foliage in artistic compositions. The first section reviews the history and current use of native American plants and includes a brief primer on garden design. The second presents profiles of eighteen public and private gardens in Canada and the United States and highlights the crucial role of horticultural organizations and garden clubs in spreading the good news about native flora. The last section is devoted to detailed descriptions of over 500 plants, chosen not only for their handsome appearance but also for their ability to flourish without the use of pesticides or fertilizers. With them, gardeners everywhere will have yearlong beauty requiring minimal maintenance.
