Gardening is a fun hobby that for many is a passion. We are all familiar with out vegetable and flower gardens, but what do we know about native wildflower gardens? There is a growing awareness and interest in gardening using native plants. People are understanding that there are many complex relationships in the natural world, and these have been neglected. Now we are learning that something can be done to restore a little bit of those relationships even in our humble yards. This book is an exploration of why we should start a garden using only native plants and it gives tips on how to get one started. There is also a section that has descriptions of some wildflowers and grasses that were once a vast part of this continent, but now is relegated to little pockets of land scattered around.
