"If you are truly concerned about the environment and wildlife, then you should get this book and use it as a reference for what's truly good and harmful in your landscape. There are some real surprises here, but the book makes you think about much more than the purely visual impact of the plants we buy for our gardens and yards. It's no longer a simple issue of beautifying the landscape."
