The New Gardening for Wildlife: A Guide for Nature Lovers

As a gardener and wildlife lover, if I'd discovered this book earlier, I could have saved time and costly mistakes by selecting correct native plants for a wildlife garden. Merilees covers basic needs of all wildlife, from birds to reptiles to mammals, and specific needs for species within each group. Very helpful are seasonal food favorites and detailed housing requirements. A hummingbird flower tower provides multiple favorite plants in limited space, and building bat or toad houses would be fun projects for children. A great book for anyone starting a wildlife garden or for encouraging children's involvement with the natural world.
