Living Landscapes in South Dakota: A Guide To Native Plantscaping

NRCS now has available a booklet entitled "Living Landscape in South 
Dakota," which is a guide for planting native plants. This 42-page booklet 
is designed to help homeowners living on acreages, rural, or urban 
settings. It is full of handy information such as; planning, design, and
site preparation; choosing the right grasses, shrubs, trees, and 
wildflowers; water conservation; plant maintenance and protection; planning
and planting for wildlife; rain gardens; energy conservation; weed 
control; culturally significant native plants; and firewise landscaping.

The booklets are being distributed to all NRCS field offices, Conservation 
Districts, and RC&D's. Copies are also available by request from the NRCS 
Public Affairs Office; contact Jeff McGuire at jeffery.mcguire at sd.usda.gov 
or 605-352-1228.

It is also available electronically as a PDF at

(the link is a little slow, but seems to work eventually)

There is also a guide for North Dakota from 2006 at
