The book supports city planners, developers, landscape architects, HOA boards, homeowners, and anyone interested in creating beautiful landscapes that restore native biodiversity and conserve natural resources. This is more than simply a book on gardening with native plants; it addresses human obstacles to conservation, including preconceptions about how landscapes should look, while advocating strategies for working with rather than eradicating wildlife.

The book can be purchased on Amazon and the High Plains Environmental Center website.
