Noah's Garden: Restoring the Ecology of Our Own Backyards

by Sara B. Stein

A seminal work for thousands of native gardeners. Many gardeners have changed their whole approach to gardening after reading this book, which emphasizes the importance of working with nature, not against it, and of using the space in our gardens wisely, to partially replace the prairies and forests we've destroyed. Noah's Garden also explores the relationship between gardens and wildlife--such as it is in suburbia. Gardening according to Sara Stein's suggestions tends to create beautiful spaces filled with birds, bees, and butterflies.
