We finally meet our friends from Zona Gardens in person when they visit Chicago to photograph for Scott's upcoming book on garden designers' plant combos. He and his daughter are great company and welcome any time! His images and text are superb. I have been reading Scott's newest book: CHASING WILDFLOWERS: A Mad Search for Wild Gardens (Scott Calhoun, Rio Nuevo Press, Tucson, 2007). Scott's trademark passion for plants, enthusiasm for all layers of life (including fun food, history, science), his compassion and humor combine to make his book an addictive and highly satisfying read. Wonderful stories & meditative reflections on life mean this could be a gift for anyone slightly interested in plants...plus, you will learn a lot about Southwestern wildflowers: cheaper than travel.
