Description

An illustrated reference covering nearly one thousand native woody plants discusses the benefits of using such trees, shrubs, and vines in ecological gardening.

First Sentence

migrating birds feeding ravenously on the winterbery, holly I planted out back near the terrace or bees buzzing around my sweet pepperbush. So, planting a tree, or vine or shrub is also an act of faith in the marvelous complexity of life-a complexity that is impossible to really comprehend but truly awesome to behold.
