Month-By-Month Gardening in the Deserts of Arizona: What to Do Each Month to Have a Beautiful Garden All Year

Book arrived quickly and in great condition. The book content itself is great too just what I needed for my dessert gardening.

This book is a must-have for any gardener's library at any level. It breaks the book up into sections like vegetables, annuals, grasses, etc.....then it gives you an at a glance for what you should be doing for that month. It's pretty impressive! Excellent especially if you live in the phoenix/tucson areas.

Nice survey of plants to grow in the desert.

great for Phoenix.highly recommended on 'Phoenix backyard gardening' FB page.

Here in the desert heat it can be difficult to get gardening right. Our climate differs and the timing for certain tasks is almost opposite from other locations in the USA. I found this book to be a great monthly "to do list". It has allowed me to be a little more pro-active to what needs to be done versus reactionary to try and fix something when it is too late. The books chapters are broken down into groups and then those groups are broken down on a month to month description. For example, there is a section on Annuals and it shows when to plant certain types and will give recommended groupings as well. As the seasons change the advice corresponds to the month of the year.The book does not cover every detail but does a great job to help you get orgainzed and put you on the right track.

Really disappointed in the book, as it is mostly for Southern Nevada and Las Vegas area. Beautifully photographed and informational. It did not help me much in putting in plants and trees here in Northern Nevada (30 miles northeast of Reno). New house and need to put in trees and plants that will thrive. We are from California and know nothing of high desert flora needs.

This is the definitive book on gardening in Arizona. Chock full of great advice. I've been gardening in the Phoenix area for 20 years and it still helped me. A must have if you gardenq in Arizona.

Im a 26 yr old female, born and raised in phx, and have always found planting mind boggling. Phx is so 'special' in that we plant plants at opposite times than most of the U.S., including even northern AZ, so this book has been a life saver. I like that there are lists throughout the book of what plants do well in phx (vines, annuals, bulbs, etc). I just wish is was categorized not by plant but by month, and then all the types of plants within that 'month' So the books not organized very well. And this might be asking for too much but I like my gardening books to have LOTS of pictures. While there was about 1 pic per 2 pages I feel it wasn't enough...
