Synopses & ReviewsPublisher Comments:Much of modern garden design is about controlling nature to achieve a desired effect. But for the eco-conscious homeowner, the best garden designer is Mother Nature, and following her lead can result in a beautiful low-maintenance landscape that requires fewer resources, attracts natural wildlife, and saves time and money.
In The Naturescaping Workbook, author Beth O'Donnell Young sets forth an easy-to-follow, do-it-yourself plan for gardeners of all skill levels. Her step-by-step approach teaches gardeners to understand their own natural habitat and to nurture the native eco-systems that exist in their yard. And the payoff is huge. By simply becoming aware of the natural wonders in the backyard, anyone can gain a more beautiful garden and take a big step toward bringing nature home. Book News Annotation:This colorful guide to naturescaping examines the development of seasonal, sustainable landscaping practices for home gardeners, and provides step-by-step instructions for a wide variety of projects that conserve water, use on site composting and fertilizations, and develop habitats that are attractive to local birds and wildlife.
