- catalog abstract "In this new book, Sara Stein travels beyond her own garden to report on the many and diverse ways in which people in all parts of the country are working to undo the damage and help restore their backyard ecosystems. Along the way, we watch her transform a new subdivision lot into the kind of natural landscape that existed before the bulldozers of suburban sprawl erased everything in their path; we are introduced to an Omaha man whose tiny city lot serves as a migration. Stop for monarch butterflies; we see a multitude of wonderful variations on the American lawn; and we visit the author's own "stone terrace," a magical landscape that attracts all manner of fauna, including hummingbirds, butterflies, flocks of bluebirds - and people. If the first half of Planting Noah's Garden is an inspiration, the second half is practical. Here readers will find very specific descriptions of the ways in which they can take the necessary steps to. Transform their own gardens into rich and lively landscapes.".
