READER NANCY WROTE TO ME and made me do it–made me finally sit for several hours and categorize the Resource Links page so that you can find sources to shop for bulbs versus seeds, products versus plants. Up till now all the shopping sources were in one big pile; sorry! All she said was something I already knew but hadn’t glued myself to my chair long enough to fix, and I thank her for the nudge. I hope you’ll take a peek, and if you have other favorite resources you want me to know about and explore, do tell.

how conservation starts in your yard, with doug tallamy

‘NATURE’S BEST HOPE’ is the title of University of Delaware professor Doug Tallamy’s new book, and the subtitle reads like this: “A New Approach to Conservation That Starts in Your Yard.” In other words, you and I are nature’s best hope. Our actions count, and they add up to counteract a fragmented landscape and other challenges to the survival of so many critically important native creatures and the greater environment we all share.

Doug Tallamy’s 2007 book, “Bringing Nature Home,” has been for many of us a wake-up call into the entire subject of the unbreakable link between native plant species and native wildlife, and now with more than a decade of additional research insights, he goes further.
