Habitat Creation in Garden Design: A guide to designing places for people and wildlife

Essential reading for every aspiring garden designer -- Ken Thompson, Professional Gardeners' Guild * Professional Gardeners' Guild * Habitat Creation bridges an important gap between the scholarly ecology and the home gardener, and its focus on feeding and retaining invertebrates is a refreshing change of pace. Whereas every major gardening manual hones in on nectar, berry, and seed-feeding for birds and butterflies, Habitat Creation in Garden Design details planting and management techniques to foster vibrant communities of soil microorganisms, invertebrates, reptiles, amphibians, birds and mammals to accommodate fully functional biodiversity.’ -- Jennifer Priester, Northwest Perennial Alliance Magazine (USA) * Jennifer Priester, and wNorthwest Perennial Alliance Magazine (USA). * ‘I have sat on SGD committees with both Catherine Heatherington FSGD (retried) and Alex Johnson MSGD (retired), and it is pleasing to see that the qualities they brought to meetings – rigour, quality and clarity of thought, and a liveliness – shine through the ideas and information they present in their book…everything – or nearly everything – you may need to know is here’. -- Annabel Downs, Garden Design Journal * Garden Design Journal *
