The Humane Gardener by Nancy Lawson


This former editor for the Humane Society delivers us a heartfelt plea to nurture a backyard habitat for wildlife in this lovely book. She sees plants as living, breathing beings—synonymous with humans and animals. Her message is simple...that plants deserve a chance to make a life here on this planet, and that human beings need to provide that chance. The Humane Gardener embodies the ethics of compassionate landscaping; and is filled with colorful photographs and gardening tips sure to please any nature-loving horticulturist.
