How Can I Help?

From a New York Times bestselling author, a wildlife ecology expert and environmental advocate provides readers with the next step in their ecological journey.

In How Can I Help?, Tallamy tackles the questions commonly asked at his popular lectures and shares compelling and actionable answers that will help gardeners and homeowners take the next step in their ecological journey. Topics range from ecology, evolution, biodiversity and conservation to restoration, native plants, invasive species, pest control, and supporting wildlife at home. Tallamy keenly understands that most people want to take part in conservation efforts but often feel powerless to do so as individuals. But one person can make a difference, and How Can I Help? details how.

Whether by reducing your lawn, planting a handful of native species, or allowing leaves to sit untouched, you will be inspired and empowered to join millions of other like-minded people to become the future of backyard conservation.

Pansies

by Brenna Estrada

This “must-add to your garden library” is an indispensable guide to pansies—and a brand new way to look at the dazzling flower that brings drama, whimsy, and diversity to every garden and arrangement (Erin Benzakein, Floret).

Pansies is the big idea flower book we’ve all been waiting for. While working at the famed Floret Flower Farm, Brenna Estrada was so inspired by the pansies being grown that she began to trial hundreds of varieties of pansies and violas on her own farm. Her innovative approach to growing in full sun results in pansies with long stems, breathtaking fragrance, and unique color.

Filled with stunning photography, Pansies is perfect for growers, florists, artists, and collectors. Readers will discover:
·The fascinating history of pansies and violas, from their origination as a wildflower to a necessary adornment in every household garden
·Everything you need to know about growing pansies (and how to save pansy seeds!)
·How to keep pansies healthy and resilient all year round
·Inspiration for incorporating pansies in crafts, recipes, and in the apothecary
·Inspiring examples of knockout bouquets and arrangements
·Lush profiles on 50 varieties of pansies and violas available today
