Nancy Lawson combines ecological insight with hands-on advice to help gardeners create compassionate, wildlife-friendly yards. The book shows how small design choices can support birds, bees, butterflies and small mammals while encouraging biodiversity.
Chapters cover selecting native plants, providing nesting and shelter, creating safe zones for young animals, and strategies for coexisting with animals often seen as pests. Lawson pairs profiles of home gardeners with interviews from scientists and horticulturists.
A practical "Getting Started" section offers regional resources, native-plant references and supplier suggestions to move a garden from idea to habitat.
