Aprašymas

An essential guide to rethinking and remaking the American landscape.

Never before have so many people been as eager to rethink their lawns and garden with native plant communities. From over-tapped aquifers, polluted waterways, the heat island effect, and the plight of pollinators and birds, everyday gardeners, garden designers, landscape architects, and city planners are rethinking landscaping as something integral to the health and future of our communities. UNLAWN AMERICA is the cutting-edge resource for a healthier, more climate resilient, and democratized urban environment for all species, written by a leading garden designer and expert on ecological gardening. With detailed case studies of four naturalistic, unlawned yards, information on plant selection and management, tips on how to handle lawn-loving neighbors, HOAs, and planning boards, and historical context for understanding the lawn-care and landscaping industry, UNLAWN AMERICA will empower readers to think about removing the lawn and making a garden as the first step in creating a more just world for all.
