The Blooming Lawn: Creating a Flower Meadow
Yvette Verner,Yevette Verner,Sue Davies
This is not a how-to book but rather an encouraging story of one gardener's approach to meadow gardening in southern England. Verner cordially takes the reader from her initial idea of "doing our bit for the environment" all the way to the end product?a successful biodiverse meadow that has supported a variety of flora and fauna for over seven years. Along the way, the reader learns something of Verner's plants and the maintenance of her meadow. Just as she invites numerous school children into her meadow, she invites the reader along on her wildlife-watching excursions and describes craft projects using meadow by-products. Helpful lists include North American addresses and species.
