The Natural Habitat Garden

By Ken Druse

Photographs by Ken Druse

Now available in paperback, this classic book by award-winning
photographer and naturalist, Ken Druse, shows American gardeners how to
create beautiful native-plant gardens.

This book is a plea to give back to our environment some of the beauty and
pleasure it has given us. It is intended to help gardeners create niches,
however small, that considered together can expand the realm of the
indigenous plant and animals. Instead of just making gardens that resemble
the earth, the author is encouraging garden communities to help enlarge
the earth's diminished domain by growing native-plant gardens modeled on
nature's original communities.

Through 500 color photographs of 35 gardens across the country, Ken Druse
introduces nature's original communities---grasslands, drylands, wetlands,
and woodlands. Listings of plant sources, places to visit, and societies
and organizations have been updated for this edition.

This book is an inspiration to organic gardeners, conservationists,
environmentalists, permaculture advocates, and landscape designers alike.

Ken Druse is an internationally recognized author, award-winning
photographer, and acknowledged founder of the natural-gardening movement.
He gardens in Brooklyn, New York and rural New Jersey.
