Increased awareness of the environment and an ever-present interest in
curb appeal means that homeowners are eager for more sustainable,
natural landscaping. And why shouldn't they be? In addition to
supporting local flora and fauna, ditching grass for lush, native plants
helps lower water bills and results in self-sustaining gardens
long-term. In John Gidding's At Home with Nature, American homeowners
will find thorough blueprints to reap these benefits and bring their
dream garden to life.
Complete with specific information for every U.S. bioregion, a glossary
of native plants, illustrated yard renderings and photos, and detailed
explanations of suburban codes, this book has examples and techniques to
build responsible natural spaces. And as an HGTV star with over a decade
of design experience, Gidding is the landscaping expert readers need to
get the job done. At Home with Nature is the ultimate resource for
creating beautiful and beneficial home gardens.
