Powerful Perennials is available from Amazon.com, Booksamillion.com,  and Barnes and Noble.com

These fine books are the culmination of the experience and knowledge gained by Donrey and Nedra Secrist over their combined 65 years of gardening. Our ages told us that our successful hands-on experience of mountain gardening needed to be shared with future gardeners.

Finally, the Western Rocky Mountain gardeners have two gardening books written for their environment. Within the books’ covers are local photos along with appearance descriptions, and growing features. While Perennials focuses mainly on growing beautiful perennial gardens despite tricky light conditions, Powerful Perennials is a gardener’s handbook for choosing flowers that thrive in the cold winters, desert conditions, wildlife neighborhoods and difficult soils that are common in the Western Rocky Mountains.

Powerful Perennials offers in-depth perennial introductions along with all kinds of gardening dilemma solutions while proving that gardening is the funniest activity you will ever experience. This book is a “keeper” promising to become your most valuable gardening tool for years to come.

Both books can be purchased very reasonably, from many online sources including Amazon, Books-a-Million and Barnes and Noble. If you live in Utah or Idaho, consider visiting Secrist Gardens to get your own copy signed by the author.
