Meeting Agave Utahensis Pre-Order

“Most people meet Agave utahensis backwards…”

Over eighty pages and more than thirty full-color photographs. Meeting Agave Utahensis is a personal introduction to my favorite plant. Based on my years of desert exploration, hours spent in ethnographic archives, and thousands of utahensis grown from seed, this is the definitive monograph dedicated entirely to Utah Agave. It traces the species across deep geological time, 3,000 years of Indigenous harvesting traditions, the hidden world of market poaching and biopiracy, and offers a complete practical guide to indoor and outdoor cultivation.

And it’s available to pre-order now!

Praise for the Book:

“A wonderful introduction to one of the Mojave's most amazing plants. It goes into the history of our region's agaves while shining a bright light on the growing challenges of poaching and over commercialization that threatens wild populations. Whether you're new to native plants or someone who is already passionate about desert ecology and botany, this is an amazing reminder that appreciation begins with understanding, and conservation begins with all of us.”

-Lydia Wolfe, WolfKey Native Plant Nursery
