The Northeast Native Plant Primer: 235 Plants for an Earth-Friendly Garden
by Uli Lorimer, 252 pages, 8x9, softcover. Who better to teach us about gardening with natives than the director of horticulture at Native Plant Trust, the nation’s oldest plant conservation organization? In this inspiring and practical guide, Lorimer profiles 235 native plants, describing their growing needs and habits, wildlife value and native habitat, with gorgeous color photos to emphasize the unique beauty of each species. Beyond a practical resource, Lorimer invites us to rethink our use of exotics and cultivars in our gardens and lawns. Whether you’re growing in a small yard or an acreage, this book will inspire you to consider the critters and the native plants they feed on. Lorimer guides us through understanding our site and goals, gives us a palette of plants to work with, and opens the door wide for us to create our gardens for beauty, wildlife and resiliency. -RS
