who appreciate watching them. Now, you can turn your yard into a perfect
habitat that attracts them and, more importantly, helps them thrive.
Professional nature photographer and botanist George Oxford Miller
provides all the information you need in this must-have guide for
Northern California. Learn how to landscape and create pollinator
gardens with native plants.
The book begins with an in-depth introduction to native pollinators and
to birds. It's followed by a "field guide" section to more than 100
native plants that are widely available to utilize, are easy to care
for, and provide great benefit to birds, bees, and butterflies. The
species are organized by level of sunlight needed and then by plant
types. Each species includes full-color photographs and information
about hardiness zones, what they are most likely to attract, soil
requirements, light levels, and George's notes. As an added bonus,
you'll make use of blooming charts, tips on attracting specific species,
and more! Plus, the invaluable garden plans and projects show you just
what to do and can be customized to suit your own specific interests.
