Author: Marcia Tatroe
There is never a dull moment in the Intermountain West. One day is sunny and bright and the next it is snowing—at any season of the year. Gardening in such a land of exremes is different; but it doesn’t hve to be difficult. Based on twenty years of experience transforming an ordinary suburban yard into a diverse and colorful garden, and a career designing residential and commercial landscapes, author Marcia Tatroe helps veterans and newcomers alike make sense of this region’s unique conditions and the opportunities they present. With a wealth of sage advice and insights, Tatroe addresses both the art and the practicalities of creating a garden that is every bit as magical as the Intermountain West’s natural splendor. Lavish photos by acclaimed photographer Charles Mann showcase many of the finest regional gardens and scores of adapted plants that not only survive, but also thrive, in places where winters are cold, summers are hot, and water is in short supply.
