Plan your landscape or garden with more than 100 native plants that benefit birds, bees, and butterflies of the central United States.
The presence of birds, bees, and butterflies suggests a healthy, earth-friendly place. These most welcome guests also bring joy to those who appreciate watching them. Now, you can turn your yard into a perfect habitat that attracts them and, more importantly, helps them thrive. Acclaimed author and expert entomologist Jaret C. Daniels provides the information you need in this must-have guide for Kansas, Kentucky, Missouri, Nebraska, Ohio, southern Illinois, and southern Indiana. Learn how to landscape and create pollinator gardens with native plants.
The book begins with an in-depth introduction to native pollinators and to birds. It's followed by a "field guide" section to 115 native plants that are widely available to utilize, are easy to care for, and provide great benefit to birds, bees, and butterflies.
