Bibliography:  Includes bibliographical references and index. Contents:  Layers in wild landscapes -- The community of living organisms: why interrelationships matter more than numbers -- The ecological functions of gardens: what landscapes do -- The art of observation -- Applying layers to the home garden. 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. Other authors:  Tallamy, Douglas W.
