Publisher Description:
In Colorado, a state whose name is synonymous with "lifestyle," one can find a dazzling assortment of both historic and cutting-edge homes, as well as gardens that boast heritage plants, natives, and new drought-resistant plants introduced from faraway lands. "Colorado Home and Garden Lover's Guide collects some of Front Range Living's most intriguing, in-depth stories to share the many possibilities that typify the region's homes and gardens. Whether you're looking to buy, restore, or build a home or to enhance your garden's beauty and survival, this book holds treasures within. Here is a sampling: - The Modernist Home--Strong, bold home designs from the 1950s and 1960s have simple geometric features that are still beautiful--and hip--today.- Native Plant Gardens--Because Colorado is arid landscape, native plants are well adapted for survival. And they charm butterflies, too - The Craftsman Bungalow--Once ordered by catalog and shipped out west by railroad, the turn-of-the-century houses have more appeal than ever.- Conifers--Colorado's landscape is shaped by these tough, resilient beauties. Learn more about these trees we take for granted.- Old and New Adobe--In Trinidad, Colorado, one woman gets a lesson in building these ancient dwellings, one brick at a time.- Rock Gardens--In Colorado, rock gardens have become a passion, both in the study of alpine plants and the ecology that shelters them.
