The Living Landscape: Designing for Beauty and Biodiversity in the Home Garden

By Douglas W. Tallamy, Rick Darke, E.J. Koh

This "thoughtful, intelligent" gardening book will help readers create a garden that nurtures the wildlife communities surrounding them (The New York Times Book Review).

Many gardeners today want a home landscape that nourishes and fosters wildlife, but they also want beauty, a space for the kids to play, privacy, and maybe even a vegetable patch. Sure, it's a tall order, but The Living Landscape shows you how to do it. You'll learn the strategies for making and maintaining a diverse, layered landscape--one that offers all of the following:

*Beauty on multiple levels
*Outdoor rooms and turf areas for children and pets
*Fragrance and edible plants
*Shelter and sustenance for wildlife

Richly illustrated, The Living Landscape will enable you to build the garden of your dreams.
