Plant This, Not That - Elise Howard Cover Art

Plant This, Not That

Plant This, Not That Over 200 Native Plant Swaps for a More Sustainable, Pollinator-Friendly Garden by Elise Howard

A comprehensive guide to creating a native plant garden anywhere in the contiguous United States, with an easy-to-follow, "this, not that" format, as featured in the New York Times !  "A timely, ever-so-useful guide" —Douglas W. Tallamy, author of Nature’s Best Hope These days, home gardeners know that many traditional, non-native garden plants—like English ivy, barberry, and burning bush—don't support our bees, butterflies, birds, and other creatures. And that native plants are more likely to thrive, because they evolved as part of the local ecology, so they often require less fussy maintenance and don’t depend on pesticides and fertilizers. But gardeners ready to make the switch may ask:  Where do I begin? And how do I find the best native plants for my landscape?   Plant This, Not That  considers some of the most common non-native (and often, invasive) plants in North American gardens and suggests substitutions for more beneficial and equally beautiful natives. Each native plant listing includes a full-color photo, along with sun, water, and soil requirements; ornamental features (including bloom time and color and whether the plant has berries, fruit, and/or fall color); and the pollinators known to depend on and support that plant. Accompanying maps show every plant's locally native range, down to the county level. The book also features an overview of how native plants contribute to our local ecosystems, where to shop for them, advice on maintaining a mostly native garden, and resources to learn more about native planting.

Second Nature - Michael Pollan Cover Art

Second Nature

Second Nature A Gardener's Education by Michael Pollan

"One of the distinguished gardening books of our time," from the #1 New York Times –bestselling author of The Omnivore's Dilemma ( USA Today ).   Chosen by the American Horticultural Society as one of the 75 greatest books ever written about gardening   After Michael Pollan bought an old Connecticut dairy farm, he planted a garden and attempted to follow Thoreau's example: do not impose your will upon the wilderness, the woodchucks, or the weeds. That ethic did not, of course, work. But neither did pesticides or firebombing the woodchuck burrow. So Michael Pollan began to think about the troubled borders between nature and contemporary life.   The result is a funny, profound, and beautifully written book in the finest tradition of American nature writing. It inspires thoughts on the war of the roses; sex and class conflict in the garden; virtuous composting; the American lawn; seed catalogs, and the politics of planting a tree. A blend of meditation, autobiography, and social history, Second Nature , from the renowned author of The Botany of Desire , In Defense of Food , and other bestsellers, is "as delicious a meditation on one man's relationship with the Earth as any you are likely to come upon" ( The New York Times Book Review ).   "Usually when Americans have wanted to explore their relationship to nature they've gone to the wilderness, or the woods. Michael Pollan went to the garden instead . . . and he's returned with a quirky and pleasing book." —Annie Dillard   "A joy to read." — Los Angeles Times
