In this positive, upbeat guide, she shows you how to nurture a thriving garden that includes native plants that support wildlife and how, in doing so, your own garden will reconnect to the greater ecosystem." --David Mizejewski, Naturalist, National Wildlife Federation "From rain barrels to planting choices, this book guides you to endless gardening possibilities and doing it in an all-natural way. Chris has made gardening simple and easy for all." --Lisa Mason Ziegler, author of Cool Flowers and Vegetables Love Flowers "This is the perfect guide to get you started in understanding how your garden functions as a part of the ecosystem. It can help you create a space for all to enjoy--from the tiniest insects to the domestic animal helpers--and for yourself!" --Jessi Bloom, ecological designer and author of Creating Sanctuary and Practical Permaculture
