So very sad to hear of Mary's recent passing here in August, 2021, I believe. She was only 72. I am a longtime gardener transplant from Chicago who has now lived in Metro Phx for 40 yrs. I have at least 5 of Mary's books. They were integral to my plant selection & when you read them, including the more journey-like "A Place of Our Own, " you felt you were right alongside her & could relate. Nothing fancy to Mary's gardening. Just a love of the land & concept design, largely w/ the beautiful natives of the Southwest. And a wealth of knowledge. She was also an integral part of the Desert Botanical Gardens here b4 she moved from S. Scottsdale here to Texas. Condolences & Blessings to her entire family

Love her yard. I am going to purchase some of her books. I found some at the library.
Love the Before & After photos. Beautiful result, but it's so encouraging to see the starting point too. Love the textures.
This Oklahoman is so glad you guys put this stuff online.
So honored to have you on the CTG team!
Absolutely gorgeous !!!! I’ll be coming back to this for design inspiration for my mostly Florida native garden.
Loved this episode, super informative and great ideas!🌸💫Very sorry to hear this lovely lady has passed on🙏🏼💫
So informative!!! Thank you Mary!
Can you post a list of the different flowers that were listed out?
No.
It's in the video but I'll see if I can get a list of all the plants.
