Great guide for someone who may have recently moved to the Colorado area and getting a new garden started!

I was expecting something a little different: a book on plants that are native to our area, rather than plants that can grow well here. Other than that, it's a very useful book, with plenty of information about how to maintain a lawn, what to put in compost, and how/when to prune trees.

I loved reading this book it helped me quite a bit to find out the right sort of plant to do in Idaho.
