by Eric A. Johnson, Scott Millard, and Don Fox
The late Eric Johnson was Desert Editor for Sunset magazine, author of several books on growing plants in the arid West and an expert landscape maintenance trouble-shooter for more than 55 years. We also carry his wonderful book, "How to Grow The Wildflowers". This first book on care and pruning of California and Southwest natives explains the special needs of natives and takes the mystery out of essential maintenance practices. Color photographs, detailed illustrations and step-by-step guides help to grow more than 300 native and adapted trees, shrubs, ground covers, vines and flowers. Topics covered in detail are: climate considerations, planting, irrigation, mulching, pruning by the season, plant problems/solutions and more. Softcover, $17.95.
