Gardening – June 2005 – Colorado Central Magazine
With Wann and Tweit advising, you should be able to get your garden up and blooming, but both books are in black and white. So you may well want one of those gorgeous, full-color manuals that shows brilliant pictures of garden vegetables, and landscapes and flowers, too.
Or you may want an illustrated book about something specific like Xeriscaping, or herb gardens, or easy-care shrubs.
Available resources are too lengthy to list here, however. But both Zen and the Garden Survival Guide include lists of recommended books and resources. And the Salida Regional Library provides the Salida Garden Club’s recommendations for Xeriscaping under book lists at
www.salida library.org
In addition, the Salida Tree Board publishes a handy little guide to trees recommended in their fair city — presumably in order to make it fairer still.
And local nurseries are usually glad to offer tips and suggestions, too.
