Gardening is still the number one outside activity in America.
Yet many unconsciously mimic the corporate model of farming that scrapes the landscape bare, sows mono-cropped fields for mechanized harvesting, sprays to kill everything that puts a hole in anything, and at the end of each cycle, destroys any diversity that has gotten a foothold during the growing season. This book documents how they changed what they were doing, with the result the same parcel of land produced bountifully for both their needs and those of wild visitors. A manual for translating the ubiquitous lawn into something more beautiful, interesting and alive.
