No other book is as responsible as this one for inspiring the Wild Yards Project. Tallamy is so convincing with his data, so readable, and so mind-blowing in his revelations about the relationship between plants, bugs and birds, that once i read it, there was no going back.
Simply put, this book is a must-have for anyone looking to transform their garden and yard from exotics to natives here in California.
This beautiful and inspiring approach to re-thinking our lawns is a bible among native plant landscapers.
Located in the heart of Beverly Hills, this astonishing project will either energize you well into the 21st century with native planting ambitions, or send you crawling under your covers in shame.
Barbara Eisenstein's Wild Suburbia gets my vote as the most readable, soulful and thorough "How and Why" of the current batch of native-plant gardening books out there.
