High desert perma-culture
Article Abstract:
Two permaculture experiments in New Mexico reflect the wisdom of the permaculture movement and provide evidence of the relationship between people and their environment. Permaculture recognizes the interrelatedness of natural systems, and seeks to reunite people with the environment in a way that protects native plant life while also sustaining people. A permaculture site in Arroyo Hondo developed by Living Structures, and a less complex permaculture site of Roxanne Swentzell and Joel Glanzberg, are discussed.

Old as the hills, tough as a boot
Article Abstract:
Old or antique roses are regaining their popularity in Texas as rose enthusiasts recognize their ability to withstand harsh weather conditions, pests, and neglect. A group of rose growers known as the Texas Rose Rustlers travel to barren and run-down sections of Texas identifying and collecting old roses. The roses tend to prefer dry clay-like soil and thrive in the Texas heat.

Lone star super star
Article Abstract:
Barry Simpson was a near-legend in Texas regional horticulture who promoted the proliferation of native plants. His inspiration stemmed from walks in a relatively lush stretch of land near his boyhood home on the North Pease River in the Texas Panhandle. His field book selecting and identifying native and hardy species became a standard in horticulture.
