Summary of Bringing Nature Home

Bringing Nature Home is a timely and impassioned call to save the Earth’s dwindling biodiversity by restoring native plants to our yards, parks, and communities. The book explores the essential role that native plant species play in providing habitat and food for birds, insects, and other wildlife. Author Douglas Tallamy argues that the way we design our gardens and landscapes significantly determines the health of the natural world, and shows how small practices such as choosing plants native to our regions can offer a powerful and easy-to-implement solution. He illustrates how the collective efforts of average citizens can make extraordinary things happen for both wildlife and the environment.
