The Berry Botanic Garden Guide: Gardening for Wildlife, native plant flashcards
By Lisa Albert & Carolyn Devine. 2005.This “must have” resource for gardeners is filled with detailed information on 40 top-notch native plants, a handy reference for poison oak identification and tips for gardening for birds, butterflies and the earth. The plants, organized by plant community (wetland, savannah, prairie and coniferous forests), are kid-safe with non-toxic or edible berries. Beautiful color photographs, botanical illustrations and keys indicating sun exposure, water needs and wildlife value adorn the front of each plant card. The reverse side features a wealth of fully researched information--including some never before published--on landscape uses, transplanting and maintenance care, habitat value and propagation methods.
Discover the complex relationships between plants and animals as you take steps toward creating a wildlife-friendly garden, regardless of your location. The flashcard design offers a fun way to quiz yourself on plant names and data and amaze everyone with your knowledge of way cool facts. What plant was known as “devil wood” to French Canadian trappers? What is a beardtongue? What kind of sex life do sword ferns have? What was the original name of San Francisco? Find the answers to these questions along with other fun facts inside.
