"It's an all-in-one, easy to use resource for those interested in plants that not only look wonderful but fulfill a critical role in our gardens in supporting wildlife, birds, and pollinators like butterflies, moths, bees, and insects... A wonderful addition to my garden library, and to anyone interested in incorporating more native plants in their Ontario gardens.--Emma Murphy ""Peterborough and Area Master Gardeners"" (3/25/2024 12:00:00 AM) This is the book I've been waiting for. As someone keen to learn about our native plants so I can create locally appropriate gardens and shorelines, finding information has been something of a treasure hunt -- a rummage through a mishmash of books, articles and websites to piece together a picture of what grows here... This book goes a long way towards solving that problem -- in a beautiful, useful format... It will become my go-to book as I put together the best plant palette I can.-- ""Grounded Gardens"" (4/3/2024 12:00:00 AM)"
