An inclusive how-to guide on gardening with nature. As the introduction states "...this book invites you to expand your relationship with nature."
This book delves into making your home a productive animal habitat while providing food crops for yourself. With tried and true methods and advice for everything from preparing your soil to attracting pollinators and welcoming larger animals into your outdoor space. I already employ a lot of the methods discussed in the book, but I found many new things to try also, including placing strawberries and asparagus together, building a home for mason bees, the idea of decoy plants and using herbs to attract or repel certain insects.
The added design ideas at the end were a great bonus.
I very much enjoyed the wonderful drawings throughout the book that would make great stand-alone artwork.
