Book Discussion:Bringing Nature Home

September's Book Discussion is on Bringing Nature Home by Doug Tallamy in preparation for his free lecture this fall.

Bringing Nature Home is the book that sparked the Native Plant Movement in 2007. Dr Tallamy begins with a call to action for suburban yards in taking up their vital new role to create balanced communities for insect diversity. The book gives suggestions in how to blend it with the neighbors, what to plant, and has loads of photos of caterpillars and moths and the plants that support them. Bringing Nature Home goes deeper into the How Tos and what insects you will notice than his other books, so it's a great resource to have.
