Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In Lawns Into Meadows, landscape designer Owen Wormser makes a case for the power and generosity of meadows. In a world where lawns have wreaked havoc on our natural ecosystems, meadows offer a compelling solution. They establish wildlife and pollinator habitats. They’re low-maintenance and low-cost. They have a built-in resilience that helps them weather climate extremes, and they can draw down and store far more carbon dioxide than any manicured lawn. They’re also beautiful, all year round. Owen describes how to plant an organic meadow that’s right for your site, whether it’s a yard, community garden, or tired city lot. He shares advice on preparing your plot, coming up with the right design, and planting—all without using synthetic chemicals. He passes along tips on building support in neighborhoods where a tidy lawn is the standard. Owen also profiles twenty-one starter grasses and flowers for beginning meadow-makers, and offers guidance on how to grow each one. To illuminate the many joys of meadow-building, Owen draws on his own stories, including how growing up off the grid in northern Maine, with no electricity or plumbing, prepared him for his work. The book, part how-to guide and part memoir, is for environmentalists and climate activists, gardeners and non-gardeners alike. Lawns Into Meadows is part of Stone Pier Press’s Citizen Gardening series, which teaches readers how to grow food and garden in ways that are good for the planet.

Book excerpt: "Sure there are no more beautiful thing to see in a house, a building, a mansion, a castle or a sports field that green and pure grass without weeds, and where we can see it from our children playing seniors enjoying a beautiful day or athletes trying to show their qualities and skills" With this simple but true phrase, Francisco the author of this manual defines which is one of the objectives of his work: Cooperate with homeowners and landscapers to improve our environment and make each day more habitable our planet. Also the author Francisco wants to do this objective easier than it frequently is , that is transmitted to all who purchase the Manual: "my best grass", the assurance that from now on will be much simpler to have a beautiful grass Francisco transmits all their knowledge, their studies, his investigations, their experience in working in companies # 1 in the retail industry for many years to all those who think like him: "Caring for our grass, we will have a better environment. This is our power" If we had to summarize in two concepts this work would say: "Simplicity" and "ready to use". Besides this project does not end with this manual of Francisco, the author promises that will continue to transmit experiences through Internet which guarantees to keep in touch Enjoy it

Book excerpt: In this eloquent plea for compassion and respect for all species, journalist and gardener Nancy Lawson describes why and how to welcome wildlife to our backyards. Through engaging anecdotes and inspired advice, profiles of home gardeners throughout the country, and interviews with scientists and horticulturalists, Lawson applies the broader lessons of ecology to our own outdoor spaces. Detailed chapters address planting for wildlife by choosing native species; providing habitats that shelter baby animals, as well as birds, bees, and butterflies; creating safe zones in the garden; cohabiting with creatures often regarded as pests; letting nature be your garden designer; and encouraging natural processes and evolution in the garden. The Humane Gardener fills a unique niche in describing simple principles for both attracting wildlife and peacefully resolving conflicts with all the creatures that share our world.
