This is the perfect book for the beginning or advancing birder. Author Sally Roth tells with much humor the ins and out of how to make songbirds part of your outdoor scene. There are so many topics that she addresses, but the ones that I liked best were the most common types of birds I can find, the plants that attract these birds, and the food that I can buy or easily prepare at home for these birds. Color photos make bird identification easy. A bibliography in the back of the book tells show more where I can find more source material to read or where I can buy supplies such as native plants or bird feeders and feed. This lovely book now becomes part of my permanent book collection as I look forward to improving my backyard habitat for my songbird guests in years to come. show less
An altogether beautiful book, giving advice on building up a natural-looking garden with brilliant photographs of actual such creations. There are exhaustive lists of plants with their characteristics, lists of plant sources in the US, copious guides to physical operations and cultivation practices, and short essays by a number of practitioners on their own experiences. A little-know gem of a work!
Attracting Butterflies & Hummingbirds to Your Backyard: Watch Your Garden Come Alive With Beauty on the Wing (A Rodale Organic Gardening Book) by Sally Roth
This is the book to get on gardening for hummingbirds and butterflies. It has a lot of information on the lifecycle, behavior, and needs of hummingbirds and butterflies, plus a comprehensive reference with illustrations and information on each species. There are some good plant lists organized by various sites and formats, though I would have liked a "master list" for easy reference and better comparisons between plants. A good step above all the other books on the subject that I read. This show more is the one I'd reach for first every time. show less
The Beginner's Guide to Starting a Garden: 326 Fast, Easy, Affordable Ways to Transform Your Yard One Project at a Time by Sally Roth
This was a good book to give you the impetus to look at your outdoor space and just get started with it. It gives you the starting point, and the drive. It does not give you in-depth charts and planting guides, as such, but plenty of inspiration.
