About this listen

An eloquent plea for compassion and respect for all species, The Humane Gardener "does the important work of speaking for the trees—and the bees, butterflies, and other living creatures that need healthy ecosystems" (BookPage). Master naturalist Nancy Lawson uses engaging anecdotes and inspired advice, profiles of home gardeners throughout the United States, and interviews with scientists and horticulturalists to demonstrate how and why to welcome wildlife to our backyards and how we can apply 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

● Encouraging natural processes and evolution in the garden

● And much more.
