"Tiny & Wild is the essential guide to creating a small-scale mini meadow that's filled with low-maintenance plants to please both pollinators and people"--
"The word "meadow" might conjure an image of a broad, expansive prairie covering acres of land, but it doesn't have to. Meadows don't have to be big to make a difference in the health of the planet. If you choose the right plants, even a small corner of the yard will do. In Tiny & Wild, you'll learn how to embrace your wild side and create a low-maintenance miniature wildflower meadow that's teeming with life. The perks of creating a wild planting, even on a small scale, are many. Tiny but mighty meadows help mitigate climate change, foster biodiversity, sequester carbon, and calm the senses. With as little as a few square feet of space, you can create a beautiful, naturalistic planting that supports a diversity of plants, pollinators, and a plethora of other living things, not to mention its visual appeal to human eyes. Author and landscape designer Graham Laird Gardner helps you find inspiration in natural spaces so you can successfully site, design, plant, and care for your own small-scale meadow." -- Amazon.com.
