In this inspiring book, Sarah Hayden Reichard tells how we can bring Leopold's far-reaching vision to our gardens to make them more sustainable, lively, and healthy places. Today, gardening practices too often damage the environment: we deplete resources in our own soil while mining for soil amendments in far away places, or use water and pesticides in ways that can pollute lakes and rivers. Drawing from cutting edge research on urban horticulture, Reichard explores the many benefits of sustainable gardening and gives straightforward, practical advice on topics such as pest control, water conservation, living with native animals, mulching, and invasive species. The book includes a scorecard that allows readers to quickly evaluate the sustainability of their current practices, as well as an extensive list of garden plants that are invasive, what they do, and where they should be avoided. 606 $aSustainable horticulture 606 $aNative plant gardening 606 $aPests$xIntegrated control 615 0$aSustainable horticulture. 615 0$aNative plant gardening. 615 0$aPests$xIntegrated control. 676 $a635/.048 700 $aReichard$b Sarah H$01123912 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910785461403321 996 $aThe conscientious gardener$93684030 997 $aUNINA
