A stunning guide celebrating the flowering plants of the Chihuahuan Desert

A showcase for plant diversity, the Chihuahuan Desert is North America's largest at over 200,000 square miles that include West Texas, New Mexico, Arizona, and northern Mexico. This stunning guide is a full-color celebration of more than 60 flowering plants native to the area.

"The book's overriding purpose is to encourage us to rethink our ideas about the desert land of West Texas... Marfa Garden's intent is to get the region's visitors and residents to look away, for a moment, from the stunning vistas and pay attention to what is happening on the ground. The photos more than make the case, highlighting not just the prickly cacti and agave that one might expect, but a host of plants that sport colorful flowers and berries."- Texas Monthly

"Jim Martinez's garden in the desert of Marfa thrives by being useful to the natural area surrounding it."- Texas Standard
