This attractive, practical guide explains how to transform backyard
gardens into living ecosystems that are not only enjoyable retreats
for humans, but also thriving sanctuaries for wildlife. Beautifully
illustrated with full-color photographs, this book provides
easy-to-follow recommendations for providing food, cover, and water
for birds, bees, butterflies, and other small animals. Emphasizing
individual creativity over conventional design, Bauer asks us to
consider the intricate relationships between plants and wildlife
and our changing role as steward, rather than manipulator, of these
relationships.
In an engaging narrative that endorses simple and inexpensive
methods of wildlife habitat gardening, Nancy Bauer discusses
practices such as recycling plant waste on site, using permeable
pathways, growing regionally appropriate plants, and avoiding
chemical fertilizers and insecticides. She suggests ways of
attracting pollinators through planting choices and offers ideas
for building water sources and shelters for wildlife. A plant
resource guide, tips for propagating plants, seasonal plants for
hummingbirds, and host plants for butterflies round out "The
California Wildlife Habitat Garden," making it an indispensable
primer for those about to embark on creating their own biologically
diverse, environmentally friendly garden.
