Its synthesis of gardening basics with its specific approach to identifying and using beneficial native plants of the northern states creates a series of specific regional insights on planting, using pollinators, understanding how native plants nourish them, and supporting the ecosystem through native plant choices. Lovely color illustrations by Ann Sanderson enhance the growing strategy instructions and opportunities presented in this book, which covers everything from planning a garden to choosing native plants with its pollinators in mind.
