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.

Through combining workshop style assignments with research and 'hands-on' experience, Wright takes readers through a process that uses site plats to create landscape/gardens that respect an existing vista, preserving and enhancing eco health. "For any style landscape," says Wright " should not simply be a result of traditional design but be the right plant, installed in the right place at the right (optimal) planting season - creating landscape green, an eco-legacy of sustainable urban/suburban communities that enhance green space for today and future generations."
