As this revelatory book eloquently explains, there is an unbreakable link between native plant species and native wildlife. Most native insects cannot and will not eat alien plants. Gardeners and Restorationists have the power to make a significant contribution toward sustaining biodiversity.
Valuable appendices in the back of the book such as: 'Host Plants of Butterflies and Showy Moths', and 'Native plants relatively unpalatable to white-tailed deer'. 358 pages.
