The ecosystems in this area include intermountain and high plains grassland, pinon-juniper woodlands, ponderosa-gambel's oak forests, aspen-spruce-fir forests, and the Sonoran, Mojave, and Chihuahuan deserts. Successful plants native to these regions are profiled.

Sensational natives
Article Abstract:
The smell of fragrant native plants often entices North American gardeners to plant species that remind them of a certain geographic region. Not only appealing to the senses, these plants can also be used to discourage destruction by foraging animals and insects. The scents of native plants that repel animals are enhanced when the plants are not over-watered or over-fertilized.
