Engaging, persuasive, poignant, timely. I was already interested in natives and replacing all my turf grass, and now I'm convinced that it's even more necessary. If we want birds to stick around, we need to plant natives since local insects typically cannot get nutrition from introduced (alien/naturalized) plants. Learning about different insects and native plants to support them was my favorite part of this masterpiece! So glad I bought the book to have on hand as a reference as I reshape my lawn.
It was also refreshing to read that I, as a lone gardener, can make a difference without waiting for corporations/government to do anything. I, personally, can alter my garden to help native wildlife. So inspiring!
