"With this environmentally conscious, practical, and authoritative guide to growing over 1,200 plant species, the avid gardener can design and cultivate a natural garden on the country farm or in the suburban backyard, a habitat congenial to the scarlet tanager, the monarch butterfly, and the toad." "Unique to this book is author Diana Beresford-Kroeger's concept of bioplanning, in which the gardener views the garden as a biological system and the act of gardening as an ecological exercise. To assist in bioplanning, the author provides both plans adaptable to different site sizes and shapes, as well as planting instructions emphasizing organic care, ecofunction, and environmentally friendly means of pest control."--BOOK JACKET.
