Abstract

"Part how-to, part personal narrative, this book provides a practical guide for creating native-species ecogardens and chronicles the author's 20-year journey of transcendental awakening. With the help of the greater community, a neglected five-acre condominium landscape is transformed into a stunning range of multi-seasonal prairie, woodland and wetland micro-habitats. Dennis Swiftdeer Paige's illustrated account describes this process of ecological reconciliation and traces his discovery of the higher self along the way."--

Abstract

The book presents the characteristics of meadow and herb plants occurring in the Upper Vistula Valley. The significance of the vegetation in nature protection has been determined by the assessment of the share of protected vascular plant species and alien plant species which pose a threat to the phytocoenoses under investigation. Plant communities have been identified as Natura 2000 natural habitats and it has been proposed to create new protected areas to preserve the best-developed patches of vegetation studied.

Abstract

In his influential A Sand County Almanac, published at the beginning of the environmental movement in 1949, Aldo Leopold proposed a new ecological ethic to guide our stewardship of the planet. In this inspiring book, Sarah Hayden Reichard tells how we can bring Leopold's far-reaching vision to our gardens to make them more sustainable, lively, and healthy places. Today, gardening practices too often damage the environment: we deplete resources in our own soil while mining for soil amendments in far away places, or use water and pesticides in ways that can pollute lakes and rivers. Drawing from cutting edge research on urban horticulture, Reichard explores the many benefits of sustainable gardening and gives straightforward, practical advice on topics such as pest control, water conservation, living with native animals, mulching, and invasive species. The book includes a scorecard that allows readers to quickly evaluate the sustainability of their current practices, as well as an extensive list of garden plants that are invasive, what they do, and where they should be avoided.
