Many people approach gardening as a constant struggle with the
outside world. They're perpetually at war with nature, investing in
weed killers and fighting off deer and birds, all in an effort to
preserve their garden as a pristine, uncorrupted patch of earth.
Marlene A. Condon proposes a radically different method: What if,
instead of battling the natural world, we invited it into our
backyards? The result is the nature-friendly garden, which attracts
and meets the needs of common creatures, rabbits, toads, insects,
squirrels, owls, and so on, while maintaining a thriving, varied
landscape of flowers and plants. And as this thought-provoking
guide demonstrates, coexisting with nature doesn't mean turning
your yard into a bramble-infested wilderness. The sustainable,
low-impact garden described in these pages is a model of
environmental balance, fostering species diversity while keeping
wildlife damage and invasive plant growth at an acceptable minimum.
Best of all, it offers a privileged look at the workings of nature,
and the book's advice on observing wildlife is sure to open up a
new and fascinating world for even the most experienced gardener.
