Plants for New Mexico Gardens and Landscapes
Keyed to Cities and Regions in New Mexico and Adjacent Areas
by Baker H. Morrow
Book Description: New Mexico gardeners have long needed this
book—a careful guide to the trees, shrubs, ground covers, and smaller plants
that thrive in the state's many life zones and climates. In a state where
the altitude varies from 3,000 feet above sea level at Carlsbad, to 13,000
feet at Mount Wheeler near Taos, where the annual rainfall is anywhere
from 7 inches at White Sands to 30 inches in the Sangre de Cristo Mountains,
where the soil is loose and gravelly, or thick and hard, or dark and rich,
this guide, organized by regions and specific cities, will be especially
useful. It also includes information on adjacent areas in Colorado and
Arizona and on El Paso. In addition to the top hundred-plus species for
each location, the author provides suggestions for more adventurous gardeners
and information on historic landscapes around the state. He also points
out a favorite well-planned and well-maintained garden or landscape that
is open to the public in each community.
A landscape architect in Albuquerque for twenty-five years, Baker Morrow
is intimately acquainted with how things grow in New Mexico. He is also
generous in sharing his personal preferences. He mentions the species he
likes "for their toughness, adaptability, and sturdy beauty in a difficult
climate," and also the ones he admires for "their cheerfulness and their
ability to grace our lives with shade, with helpful protection from the
wind, and an endless series of wonderful colors." With many hundreds of
native and exotic species readily available, no New Mexico gardener can
afford to be without this book.
