“Brings an informed, academic element that will satisfy serious growers and nature lovers.” * English Garden *“Meticulously referenced with the latest research, this book will appeal to all gardeners who want to please the local wildlife and better know the scientific basis of what they’re doing.” – Ken Thompson, plant ecologist and lecturer * The Garden *“Community ecology is so important in the garden habitat but the information in the academic literature almost never escapes into the gardening media. Julian Doberski has undertaken several small but important meta-analyses that are very revealing. It’s a terrific work, and deserves every accolade it will undoubtedly receive.” – Dr Jolyon Kirby, garden ecologist“Strongly recommended as a very readable and up to date account at an affordable price.” * Wildlife Gardening Forum newsletter *“A must-read for forward thinking gardeners.” * Seeball *“Encourages a more thoughtful, holistic approach to gardening and garden design.” * Gardens Illustrated *
