Plan Your Landscape or Garden to Help Beloved Backyard Visitors
The presence of birds, bees, and butterflies suggests a healthy,
earth-friendly place. These most welcome guests also bring joy to those
who appreciate watching them. Now, you can turn your yard into a perfect
habitat that attracts them and, more importantly, helps them thrive.
Acclaimed author and expert entomologist Jaret C. Daniels provides all
the information you need in this must-have guide for Illinois, Indiana,
Iowa, Michigan, Minnesota, North Dakota, South Dakota, and Wisconsin.
You can 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 109 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 Jaret'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.
Plan, plant, and grow your own beautiful garden, with native plants that
benefit your favorite creatures to watch and enjoy.
