Judith Phillips

Judith Phillips is a landscape designer who prefers working with native and xeric plants because they are beautiful, conserve water, and support wildlife. She has written five books and numerous articles encouraging people to garden with a passion for the high desert. Her book Growing the Southwest Garden concerns the climate-driven changes, new extremes facing western gardeners. Judith’s newest book, The Gardens of Los Poblanos, is her first foray into writing history. It is the saga of one of New Mexico’s premier historic landscapes, the evolution of a very special place from prehistory to present day relevance.
