New Mexico is called the "Land of Enchantment and if you every tour New Mexico you understand why. New Mexico is not only beautiful from the desert to the mountains it also offer an extricate mix of past and present, history and art all infused in their daily lives. A good example of this is in Taos and Santé Fe with a mixture of native American, Spanish and Anglo people. The Native Indians and Spanish have traditions and festivals dating back centuries and you feel that rich texture of years of tradition interlaced with the present time in all they do. Art is another key element you see in New Mexico. New Mexico offers some of the best artist around and most of them are inspired by the towering mountains, vast plains and infinite blue skies. The light, and how it shines off it vast natural spaces creates a beautiful golden glow which inspires many artist to work and live in New Mexico. New Mexico is a beautiful place to visit with its beautiful sunsets, nature, outdoor sports and the beautiful starry nights. New Mexico is a great place to live too and it offers a unique lifestyle with a mixture of historic and contemporary, busy yet laid back mix.
Since most of New Mexico is arid and has less then 10 inches of rainfall annually; rocky or caliche soil with few nutrients, extremes of temperatures and weather: and oh, did I mention a bit of wind. But the benefits of New Mexico gardening is it long growing season of nine to twelve months of the year. An assortment of flowers, grasses, cacti, shrubs, vegetables and trees thrive in this environment, providing exciting design ideas for a desert garden.

If
you are planning to buy a home in New Mexico, or already have, and want
to landscape but don't know where to start I can give you some helpful
information. Also the local garden nurseries or the internet can be great
resources too. New Mexico gardeners have conditions that would wither any
gardeners. The landscape ranges from rose-colored deserts to high,
snow-capped peaks. Most of New Mexico is arid or desert but in the
north, heavily forested mountain wildernesses cover a significant portion of
the state.
When
you start gardening in New Mexico you will always have to add
nitrogen. I would recommend a soil test to help specify the exact amendments
to your landscape needs. If you have caliche, you must physically break it
up, or garden in raised beds. Many cities in New Mexico, like Albuquerque,
have water restriction and a drip irrigation system will produce healthier
plants with least water. Compost and mulch works will with the drip system
to help plants thrive. Using native plants that already adapted to the area
increases success in your garden. Being aware of the daily movement of the
sun and wind is important because these will rob plants moisture.
