Florida’s diverse geography overflows with edible plant and
animal species. Through the seasons, this forager's paradise offers
a continually changing list of wild, harvestable treasures.
Helpfully organized by environmental zone, the book is an
authoritative guide for nature lovers, outdoorsmen, and
gastronomes.
In this authoritative and friendly guide, Roger Hammer shares more
than thirty years experience tempting butterflies and hummingbirds
into tropical Florida's gardens. From ground cover to large trees,
from soil requirements to effective seeding and frost protection
strategies, Hammer catalogues 200 of the best plants for luring
these wondrous creatures into even the smallest of yards. He offers
helpful tips for beginning and establishing a thriving refuge that
is easy to maintain, and his selection of exotic plants are all
safe for use in Florida. Comprised of the tri-county area of
Miami-Dade, Broward, and Palm Beach as well as the central, coastal
areas (USDA zones 10 and 11) and the Keys, South Florida's climate
and diversity of butterflies and resident and migratory
hummingbirds are distinct from those in the rest of the state.
Before Hammer's, no other resource has captured so wide a range of
host, feeding, and shelter plants. While most bird and butterfly
gardening books emphasize the attracted fauna, Attracting
Hummingbirds and Butterflies in Tropical Florida focuses on the
flora crucial to coaxing them into the garden in the first place.
