A wealth of information on native plants for different areas and climates--and a variety of sites in the garden--as well as restoration of native plant habitats, from an expert in horticulture, botany, forestry, and ecology.

"An invaluable resource for using natives in the landscape and restoration projects." --American Gardener

No other single volume on native plants has such comprehensive horticultural coverage as Native Plants of the Northeast: A Guide for Gardening and Conservation. Nearly seven hundred species of native trees, shrubs, vines, ferns, grasses, and wildflowers from the northeastern quarter of the United States and all of eastern Canada are included.

Each plant description includes information about cultivation and propagation, ranges, and hardiness. An appendix recommends particular plants for difficult situations, as well as attracting butterflies, hummingbirds, and other wildlife.
