Kenton J. Seth is a Colorado-based garden designer who works at
home and abroad specializing in crevice gardens, drought-tolerant
natives, and meadows. His flower palette is fortified with
wild-hunted seed and plants grown in his small nursery. He writes
for a variety of publications from local plant clubs to national
magazines and international rock garden clubs. He and his partner
Tori grow vegetables, ride bikes and watch sunsets over the canyon
country in Fruita, Colorado.
Paul Spriggs learned how to build crevice gardens building directly
from one of it's innovators, Zdenek Zvolanek, of the Czech
Republic. In the past decade and a half, he has built crevice
gardens in public parks and private homes that range in size from
small feature troughs, to large installations involving many tonnes
of stone. He has a passion for all wild plants especially those of
dwarf stature, and collects and cultivates them at various gardens
in his hometown of Victoria, BC, Canada. He is an avid plant
explorer, photographer and current President of the Vancouver
Island Rock and Alpine Garden Society.
"Wow, this is a remarkable and significant contribution to the literature of the region. The photography is exceptional and despite my vast botanical library I've not seen at least 50% of the plants in any other book of this nature." --Panayoti Kelaidis, Denver Botanic Gardens "Even if crevice gardens are something you have no interest in or have ever heard of pick up this book. I promise you will come away inspired, excited, and ready to bring a new set of skills to your gardening."--Joseph Tychonievich, Editor of North American Rock Garden journal
