[Arid_gardener] Re: Llandscape Plants for Mesa

[GartenArzt]

Favorite book(let):  "Landscape Plants for the Arizona Desert".  Described 
at
http://www.amwua.org/conservation/landscape_plants.htm
with a sample page at
http://www.amwua.org/conservation/landscape_plants-sample.pdf
but you really need to see the booklet to appreciate it.  It's free.  I 
don't know if it can be mailed but no harm in trying.  See
http://www.amwua.org/contact_conserve-members.htm
for the person to contact at the City of Mesa.

There is also a book list at
http://ag.arizona.edu/maricopa/garden/html/library/ref-plnt.htm
but the books listed might be hard to find in SC.

For nearby nurseries try Harper's Nursery in Mesa or Scottsdale, Gardener's 
World in SW Phoenix, or Baker Nursery in East Phoenix.
