Gardening in the Southwest
requires a different approach than gardening in more temperate
regions. When moving to New Mexico, gardeners must learn a new
plant list in addition to learning new gardening seasons.
Western gardens are hot and dry, calling for native and drought-tolerant plants. At Enchanted Gardens, we carry books
that feature xeriscape gardening in the desert.
At Enchanted Gardens, you will find books on every aspect of
home gardening, from butterflies to xenias. Jackye can recommend
the book that will best meet your needs because she is master
gardener herself.

Jackye also recommends that you buy the CD ROM entitled Desert
Blooms which contains pictures of beautiful desert
flowers.
And when
gardening is done, buy some cool jazz performed by our own
local musician,
Steve Smith
