"Explains how your garden can be a thriving, balanced community that gives more to your landscape than it takes." âDouglas W. Tallamy, author of The Nature of Oaks and Natureâs Best Hope
The birds, mammals, reptiles, and insects that inhabit our yards and gardens are overwhelmingly on our sideâthey are not our enemies, but instead our allies. They pollinate our flowers and vegetable crops, and they keep pests in check. In Garden Allies, Frédérique Lavoipierre shares fascinating portraits of these creatures, describing their life cycles and showing how they keep the gardenâs ecology in balance. Also included is helpful information on how to nurture and welcome these valuable creatures into your garden. With beautiful pen-and-ink drawings by Craig Latker, Garden Allies invites you to make friends with the creatures that fill your gardenâthe reward is a renewed sense of natureâs beauty and a garden humming with life. - Grand Central Pub
