Landscaping with native plants has encouraged gardeners from the Midwest
and beyond to embark on a profound scientific, ecological, and emotional
partnership with nature. Benjamin Vogt shares his expertise with prairie
plants in a richly photographed guide aimed at gardeners and homeowners,
making big ideas about design approachable and actionable. Step-by-step
blueprints point readers to plant communities that not only support
wildlife and please the eye but that rethink traditional planting and
maintenance. Additionally, Vogt provides insider information on plant
sourcing, garden tools, and working with city ordinances. This book will
be an invaluable reference in sustainable garden design for those
wanting both beautiful and functional landscapes.
Easy to use and illustrated with over 150 color photos, Prairie Up is
a practical guide to artfully reviving diversity and wildness in our
communities.
