Reviews
Even the most attractive and peaceful garden can seem empty without birds, mammals, and butterflies, bees, and other insects. Those who make an effort to share their gardens with wild neighbors will be repaid with song, beauty, entertainment, and fewer pests. This book shows how to design a garden to attract wild creatures by including the plants they need to thrive and by landscaping to provide them with shelter and nesting sites. It covers information on water gardens, wildflowers, and natural methods of bug and disease control and will appeal to gardeners and naturalists.
