SECOND NATURE: THE STORY OF A NATURALISTS GARDEN (PB)

In a hidden valley in England, award-winning gardener Susie White transformed a patch of untended ground into a wildlife-friendly haven, with flowering perennials, trees, herbs, vegetables, and a wildflower meadow. Drawn by pollen-rich flowers, ponds and nesting sites, owls and blackbirds, bats and mice, butterflies and bees began taking up residence. This account is filled with inspiration and practical advice for gardeners to learn from. Susie takes us through her planning and construction, and how she designed the garden to blend harmoniously with the surrounding environment.
