13720: Taylor&quot;s Weekend Gardening Guide to Attracting Birds & Butterflies

Taylor's Weekend Gardening Guide to Attracting Birds & Butterflies
By Barbara W. Ellis / Houghton-mifflin

In the eye of a bird or a butterfly, the typical suburban landscape resembles an unfriendly desert. Closely mowed lawns, tightly clipped shrubs, raked up borders and deadheaded flowers mean no place to nest, no food to eat, and nowhere to hide. To the humans who live there this means no bird songs, no colorful butterflies, no dazzling hummingbirds, no night-sparkling fireflies. This beautiful yet practical book shows you how to transform your own garden into one that welcomes songbirds, hummingbirds, and butterflies. It won't look like the typical dreary low-maintenance garden, and it will actually be much easier to care for. Above all, it will be as rewarding to your human eyes as it will be nourishing to your winged guests. 122 pages, softcover from Houghton Mifflin Company.
