Why plant any impulse buy from the nursery when one can choose plants that are important as food sources for local birds? I originally checked this book out of the library but I want to buy one because it is so beautiful and useful. I will return to it again and again as I choose new plants for the yard and plan the garden. The book has suggested garden layouts for each area of the country, listing recommended flowers, shrubs, and trees for each area. It identifies birds common to each area and which foods each species prefers. It is lavishly illustrated. I particularly appreciate the color photographs of plants, which makes it a lot easier to spot them at the nursery. I've learned a lot about both birds and plants from this book.
I need help!
