A new approach to landscaping that embraces John Muir's observation that "when we tug on a single thing in Nature, we find it attached to the rest of the world." It attempts, in a simple & friendly way, to give backyard gardeners easy-to-use guidelines to becoming "garden stewards". It takes us a step beyond battling Nature- toward creating a naturally balanced ecosystem; one which includes such usually shunned creatures as bats, toads, snakes & spiders. It also takes a fresh look at weeds & other wild plants & offers information on the new low maintenance flowering lawns being developed in Oregon. It is generously illustrated & so delightfully written it can be shared with the whole family. Simple how-to charts on everything from design to creating a water garden, an encyclopedia of gourmet edibles & useful plant & source lists make this a most informative book as well. Rodale Press called it "a delightful overview of holistic gardening...wonderful, whimsical illustrations."
