High Altitude Planting: A Practical Guide to Landscaping, Gardening, and Planting Above 6,000 Feet Barrett, Ann

Description

Welcome to the world of high altitude and harsh climate gardening. After years of searching for a realistic reference guide to planting in and unforgiving, short season environment and being asked countless times,”is there a book on gardening here?”, We decided to write one ourselves. Included our suggestions on how to do basic planting and design; Lists of what to plant; trees, shrubs, flowers and seed as well as fertilizing, pest detection and control tips; time references for when to perform various gardening tasks at elevation. This book is intended as a basic guide to high altitude planting. There is always more than one way to do the same thing, but it’s nice to have a practical starting point. Experiment. Listen. Learn. These are the fundamentals of our customers, employees and experience have taught us. Since 1983, and Barrett, with her husband Steve, have owned and operated high altitude nurseries in Park city, Utah (Elevation 6500 feet), and Evanston, Wyoming(6800 feet).(This information was taken from the back cover.)
