Inviting Pollinators and Other Wildlife Into Your Garden Hardcover – April 24, 2022

Inviting Pollinators and Other Wildlife Into Your Garden focuses on North America, from dry regions of the southwest to wet forests of the Northeast. Dive into the landscape around you and learn about the resources pollinators, birds, lizards, toads and other wildlife need to be healthy. There are also simple projects explaining how to add these resources to your garden. This book helps readers view their gardens as small-scale conservation units and clearly explains how to incorporate areas into the overall landscape. For the first time, profiles on select native bee species are published which cover nesting habits, floral associations, and parasitoids. These profiles follow the plant profiles which also list the bee species and caterpillars associated with the flower species. Dr. McCoshum has an extensive background working in conservation and landscape ecology and delivers those concepts clearly and concisely. Readers learn about missing resources in urban environments and are given design ideas on how to bring those resources into their urban landscape. Most importantly, this book goes beyond the idea of planting native plants and explains how food is only part of any animals life cycle. Inviting Pollinators and Other Wildlife Into Your Garden is a must read for any gardener in North America trying to help pollinators, birds, toads, tortoises, or any other wildlife. Read more
