This review is from: Taylor's Weekend Gardening Guide to Attracting Birds and Butterflies: How to Plant a Backyard Habitat to Attract Hummingbirds and Other Winged Wildlife (Taylor's Weekend Gardening Guides) (Paperback)
The Taylor guides have a quality that always makes me reach for them. They are not just a lot of pretty pictures like many gardening books...although this book is loaded with remarkable color photos. It is full of practical and factual information on establishing butterfly and bird havens in your yard. You don't have to shop anywhere else. It gives the requirements of plants that they suggest you consider...sun, shade, wet, dry, etc. so that you don't make wrong choices and wind up disappointed. I have seen several other books since butterfly gardens have become a popular idea and they didn't measure up to this one.
