100 Plants to Feed the Birds: Turn Your Home Garden into a Healthy Bird Habitat by Laura Erickson
5.0
Thank you to NetGalley & the publisher for an advanced copy in exchange for an honest review.
This is a North American-based book, so if you live outside of the continental US/Canada, unfortunately it won't have much specific information for you.
Lets get into it though! Narrowing down plants to feed birds in North America to just 100 is a HUGE task & B I G kudos to the author for this undertaking! I think it will be useful to bird lovers and plant lovers alike. The visual guides, including native range maps for the plants & noting things like plants that may be native in part of the continent, but may be invasive elsewhere, is such good research and information.
I absolutely love the whole entire concept behind this & it delivered! The photos are clear & beautiful, the graphics are easy to read & understand, and overall I think this is a WONDERFUL resource for anyone looking to diversify the plants in their yard, whether they live in a city or out in the country.
It's wonderful to see the native plant societies for the US states & Canadian provinces listed in the back, as well as some common bird species and plants that they prefer (that way if there's something you particularly want in your yard.. you know what to find!)
This is just such a wonderful resource with so much information - I already added it to my list to pre-order because I need a physical copy for sure!
