Sticky Wicket: Gardening in Tune with Nature - Tapa dura

Increasing numbers of gardeners wish to modify their gardening habits to benefit the local wildlife. Sticky Wicket: Gardening in Tune with Nature shows how this can be done. Pam Lewis?s initial plan for Sticky Wicket, her garden in Dorset, was to take a painterly approach to combining colours in the flower borders. But, as the years passed, she realized that what she really wanted was to strike a balance between her desire for a beautiful garden and the needs of the insects, birds and small mammals that shared it with her. Pam's garden is now that rare treat: a feast for the eye and one for the local wildlife, too. This book, an account of the process, is both sharply observed and full of valuable information for those who want to learn from her experiences.
