A field guide to more than a hundred plants of the Chihuahuan Desert

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.

Jim Martinez has been creating water-wise and environmentally friendly landscapes for more than thirty years. He is a landscape designer specializing in native and xeric plants of Texas and the Southwest and the principal of Jim Martinez and Associates. He is also a member of the Chihuahuan Desert Research Institute and the Big Bend branch of the Native Plant Society of Texas. He lives in Marfa, Texas.
