Your Natural Garden: A Practical Guide To Caring for an Ecologically Vibrant Home Garden

Garden enthusiasts in many communities are looking for ways to enhance beautiful growing spaces with plants and flowers that would naturally occur in the environment around them. In his latest book, award-winning Norris (New Naturalism) breaks down what it means to build and maintain a natural gardening environment. His book dives deep into planning, cultivating, maintaining, and keeping a natural garden thriving by taking readers through a variety of ecosystems and through the advantages and disadvantages of their cultivation. Acknowledging that many gardeners are limited when it comes to how much space they have for an outdoor area, Norris’s book includes sections on complexity and legibility for curious gardeners to mull over as they consider what to do with their plots. There are also helpful references to encourage further research before getting started, a handy pictorial key of tools, and a “Glossary for the Ecological Gardener,” designed to help both novice and experienced gardeners alike.
