Newcomers to the garden will likely be drawn by the title, but this whirlwind sampling of native plants, gardens and techniques doesn't deliver on its promises. Despite her admission that "one book can never do justice to the unimaginably complex variations at work in any one region," Johnson (Green Future) seems to attempt just that. The country's regions are covered in three chapters encompassing extended areas of the Northwest, the Prairies and the Northeast. Included are discussions of local conservation efforts; lists of native plants suitable to the region and, importantly, invasive exotics; and abbreviated visits with local gardeners. Profiles of specific gardens are interspersed among the plant lists but do not expand on the lists by demonstrating how the plants can be grown and used. A Pennsylvania gardener with two acres of moss for a lawn boasts "no weeding, no watering," but his stance is somewhat misleading, for only certain Northeast locales could successfully support this particular approach. The final chapter, "The Nuts and Bolts," presenting tips, techniques and sources for planning and planting a native-plant garden, is an overview. Like the volume as a whole, it is best used as a starting point for the rigorous effort of establishing the care-free native-plant garden.

In this eloquent plea for compassion and respect for all species, journalist and gardener Nancy Lawson describes why and how to welcome wildlife to our backyards. Through engaging anecdotes and inspired advice, profiles of home gardeners throughout the country, and interviews with scientists and horticulturalists, Lawson applies the broader lessons of ecology to our own outdoor spaces. Detailed chapters address planting for wildlife by choosing native species; providing habitats that shelter baby animals, as well as birds, bees, and butterflies; creating safe zones in the garden; cohabiting with creatures often regarded as pests; letting nature be your garden designer; and encouraging natural processes and evolution in the garden. The Humane Gardener fills a unique niche in describing simple principles for both attracting wildlife and peacefully resolving conflicts with all the creatures that share our world.
