Wildlife in Your Garden

Offert en anglais seulement

For those who relish observing nature in action, planning a garden to attract natural pollinators and other wildlife can bring daily enjoyment right into the back yard.

This book will show you how to deal with and even appreciate the insects in your garden, as well as reptile and amphibian backyard visitors, and explains how they can contribute to a healthy ecosystem. It also covers planning and planting with birds in mind, how to identify birds by sight and by calls, and has a special section on hummingbirds with an illustrated guide to twelve common types.

Other topics include different types of pollination and the plants and food crops that depend on it; butterfly metamorphosis and gardening for the different life stages; how bats and moths take over pollination duties at night; learning to coexist with four-legged furry friends who like to dig and forage; and natural ways to protect your garden from pests and discourage harmful wildlife.
