Marfa Garden is a celebration of more than a hundred flowering plants of the Chihuahuan Desert, North America's largest hot desert, spanning northern Mexico, West Texas, and parts of New Mexico and Arizona. Hundreds of photos show plants in year-round cycles, with budding, complex foliage, unfolding blooms, seedpods, and winter texture and color. Also included are introductory essays, each plant’s common and scientific names, historical information, garden use, and USDA classification, as well as abundant space for gardening notes. Everyday gardeners, naturalists, landscape designers, architects, and anyone interested in dry gardens of the Southwest will find great value and joy in this essential field guide.
