The living landscape

the long version

By combining the insights of two outstanding authors, it offers a model that anyone can follow. Inspired by examples, you'll learn the strategies for making and maintaining a diverse, layered landscape - one that offers beauty on many levels, provides outdoor rooms and turf areas for children and pets, incorporates fragrance and edible plants, and provides cover, shelter, and sustenance for wildlife. The Living Landscape is your roadmap to a richer, more satisfying garden. Describes how home gardeners can help support sustainability and biodiversity through including in their garden plants that provide food for birds and bugs and serve as a pollination source for bees, including suggested plants for every climate and region. --Publisher's description.
