PERHAPS A GIFT VOUCHER FOR MUM?: MOTHER'S DAY
Neil Diboll has been president and consulting ecologist for Prairie Nursery, Inc. for over forty years, having previously held positions with the United States Park Service, the United States Forest Service, and the University of Wisconsin-Green-Bay’s Cofrin Arboretum. Hilary Cox is a horticulturist, garden designer, botanist, and photographer. She was the owner and landscape designer of Leescapes Garden Design for over twenty years and has previously held positions as a designated collector of prairie and woodland seeds for the joint projects of the Millennium Seedbank, Royal Botanic Gardens, Kew, and Seeds of Success USA, which was coordinated by the Chicago Botanic Garden.
This exceptional guide to plants of the American prairies offers information about every feature of these native plants that a gardener might wish to know. The text and lovely color photographs present lucid details of each plant's life from birth to bloom to seed . Both experienced gardeners and novices will find ample knowledge of plant lives on these pages. Not only do the authors provide thorough descriptions of life cycles for 148 plant species, but they also emphasize how the lives and well-being of prairie plants are interwoven with the lives of animals, microbes, and abiotic features of their environments. With the information presented in this exhaustively researched guide, gardeners can restore some of the rich tapestry of prairie life that has been lost by conversion of the once vast native prairies to cropland. * James B. Nardi, University of Illinois * If you are looking for the complete-and I do mean complete-guide to prairie ecosystems, you will not do better than this much-needed book. Diboll and Cox cover not only what prairie species look like at each of their growth stages (a first!), they also dive deep into their historical and ecological roles in prairie ecosystems. * Douglas W. Tallamy, University of Delaware *
