Doug Tallamy is one of my heroes of Ecosystem Gardening, due in large part to his groundbreaking book, Bringing Nature Home. This book should be read by every homeowner or land manager with an interest in supporting wildlife on your property. He makes an incredible argument as to why native plants play such a crucial role in wildlife conservation.
Listen as Doug Tallamy talks about sustaining wildlife on your property in Timber Press’s new podcast series:
Part 1: The Crisis facing wildlife populations, how you can help, why insects are our friends
Part 2: How to choose the best native plants
Part 3: What constitutes a native plant, the spread of invasive plants, herbicides, and organic gardening
Part 4: How to make a difference in the world by choosing the best plants
I’d love to know what you think of any of these interviews, Doug Tallamy’s book, Bringing Nature Home, or the argument in favor of native plants. Leave your thoughts in the comments below.

Carole, the link to part 2 of Doug Tallamy’s Podcast isn’t working. Thought you’d want to know!

Thanks, Alison. It’s fixed now.
100% agreed, this book is a must-read!
One thing I’ve always been intrigued by is the order of nature, and how delicately it’s all balanced. One thing can cause a domino effect on so many others. Great posts here!
