A walk in the Colton Meadows

These meadows feature both undisturbed and previously farmed land, displaying an interesting contrast of meadow plants, overshadowed by incredible views of the San Francisco Peaks.

She has written three books on western native plants; “Native Plants for High-Elevation Western Gardens”, “First Garden: How to get Started in Southwestern Gardening” and “First Garden: How to get Started in California Gardening”.
The Museum of Northern Arizona has been working to put most of the meadows under a conservation easement so this open space will be preserved for the enjoyment of people and wildlife in perpetuity.
