Designing for beauty and biodiversity in the home garden Having read Tallamy's book Bringing Nature Home, about how native plant-life corresponds to a vigorous local animal life, I was glad to get this one. Though it seems at first glance to be a gardening/landscaping book, it's much more about the science of ecology, with plenty of illustrative photos. They have done the hard science and the observations, now it's time to present it to the landowners. Only one reference to poison ivy in the whole galdurn book, and not one value judgement. No pictures of it invading the land. Very little, in fact, on invasives. Several interesting plants I'd like to own. It's really too big to absorb. It would have been better to break it up into smaller parts. geen besprekingen | voeg een bespreking toe
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 beauty on many levels, provides outdoor rooms and turf areas for children and pets, incorporates fragrance and edible plants, and provides cover, shelter, and sustenance for wildlife. Richly illustrated and informed by both a keen eye for design and an understanding of how healthy ecologies work, "The Living Landscape" will enable you to create a garden that fulfills both human needs and the needs of wildlife communities. Two of the world's leading experts in horticulture, Rick Darke and Doug Tallamy, collaborate to offer an authoritative and inspiring work describing the importance of native plants and sustainable gardening: "The Living Landscape: Designing for Beauty and Biodiversity in the Home Garden".
