A "thoughtful, intelligent" (New York Times Book Review) gardening book about how to create a garden that nurtures the wildlife surrounding it.

Many gardeners today want a home landscape that nourishes and fosters wildlife, but they also want beauty, a space for the kids to play, privacy, and maybe even a vegetable patch. Sure, it's a tall order, but The Living Landscape shows you how to do it. You'll learn the strategies for making and maintaining a diverse, layered landscape -- one that offers all of the following:

• Beauty on multiple levels

• Outdoor rooms and turf areas for children and pets

• Fragrance and edible plants

• Shelter and sustenance for wildlife

Richly illustrated, The Living Landscape will enable you to build the garden of your dreams.

"With beautiful photos and many examples, [the authors] argue eloquently that gardens can be civilized, lovely and even elegant while incorporating local plants and creating habitat for birds and the entire ecosystem in which they live." -- Chicago Tribune

"Both a primer on how landscapes develop in the wild and a manual for learning how to observe wild areas and then apply nature's principles to your own garden, the book has breathtaking photographs by the authors of wildlife including birds, butterflies, moths, turtles, and bees luxuriating in habitats provided by gardens designed with their needs in mind." -- Gardenista
