In this companion volume to the bestselling The Midwestern Native
Garden: Native Alternatives to Nonnative Flowers and Plants,
Charlotte Adelman and Bernard L. Schwartz offer another
indispensible guide to replacing nonnative plants with native
alternatives. This time, their subject is the native woody species
that are the backbone of our gardens and landscapes. Among other
ecological benefits, native shrubs and trees provide birds and
butterflies with vital food and reproductive sites that nonnative
species cannot offer. And they tend to be hardier and easier to
maintain. The authors provide a comprehensive selection of native
woody alternatives that, season by season, provide effects similar
to those of nonnative shrubs and trees used for ornamental purposes
and shade. These plants are suitable for all garden styles, provide
blooms and fall color, and have the same cultivation requirements
as their nonnative counterparts. Nature notes alert readers to the
native species' unique ecological roles. Unlike other gardening
guides, Midwestern Native Shrubs and Trees goes beyond mere
suggestion to provide gardeners with the tools they need to make
informed, thoughtful choices. Knowing which native species to plant
for desired effects empowers landscapers and gardeners to take on a
greater role in protecting our midwestern environment.
