First edition published in March 2010, this book is an amazing and powerful testimony of the highly beneficial ripple-effects one can have by adding native plants (indigenous to one's area) to one's space - even an urban yard! The book combines excerpts from the author's 5 gardener's journals 2003-2007 and her own abundant photos taken during those years and drawings, that together share the awe-inspiring evolution of an urban yard's first 5 years, as it attracted and supported countless species, especially of the small winged varieties of wildlife, to highly benefit nature and reveal amazing insights. It inspires and empowers stewardship, no matter where one lives.
