Summary:
"A
home
garden
is often seen as separate from the natural world surrounding it. In truth, it is actually just one part of a larger landscape that is made up of many living layers. And the replacement of the rich layers of native flora with turf grass greatly diminishes a
garden
's biological diversity and ecological function. The Living Landscape seeks to reverse this trend by showing gardeners how to create a landscape that is full of life. Combining sustainability and horticulture, it is the definitive guide to
designing
a beautiful, biodiverse
home
garden
. The authors explain the layers of the landscape and what role the plants within them plays in the larger environment, from providing berries for birds, food for bugs, or a place for bees to pollinate. This information is put into context and design strategies are suggested to implement in a
home
garden
. Helpful charts suggest plants, including natives and nonnatives, for each region. There is a pressing need for a biodiverse
home
landscape -- this book shows gardeners how to make it happen"--Provided by publisher.
