Bests & Worsts Reviews from Amazon

I eagerly anticipated this book however I was gutwrenched when I randomly opened it to find the worst, most invasive, non-native plants recommended. First, read "Bringing Nature Home: How You Can Sustain Wildlife with Native Plants" by Douglas Tellamy, then enjoy Gaia's Garden planting zones and guilds. We good intentioned humans have created an environmental nightmare with our infatuation of plants from other places on the planet. For twentysome years, I have been a landscape designer who professed myself a native plant advocate; which I now know to be pure lip service. I truly missed the mark and never realized the essential role insects play and the evolutionary history shared between insects and native plants. Douglas Tellamy's book was an eye opener, perspective changer for me. I have gone through friends' copies of Gaia's Garden and marked exotic invasive plants with a red dot. Please read Tellamy's book, "Bringing Nature Home: How You Can Sustain Wildlife with Native Plants." Perhaps Gaia's Garden will have a revised third edition?
