Planting in a Post-Wild World by Thomas Rainer,Claudia West Pdf

“As practical as it is poetic. . . . an optimistic call to action.” —Chicago Tribune Over time, with industrialization and urban sprawl, we have driven nature out of our neighborhoods and cities. But we can invite it back by designing landscapes that look and function more like they do in the wild: robust, diverse, and visually harmonious. Planting in a Post-Wild World by Thomas Rainer and Claudia West is an inspiring call to action dedicated to the idea of a new nature—a hybrid of both the wild and the cultivated—that can flourish in our cities and suburbs. This is both a post-wild manifesto and practical guide that describes how to incorporate and layer plants into plant communities to create an environment that is reflective of natural systems and thrives within our built world.

Planting Wetlands + Dams by Nick Romanowski Pdf

Since the European settlement of Australia, enormous areas of wetlands have been drained or filled, and many of those remaining have become infested with introduced weeds and vermin. Native plants and animals have been the losers. The loss of Australia's wetlands has impoverished the landscape, reduced farm productivity, worsened flood and erosion problems, and has helped to turn water quality problems into front-page news. This unique, practical manual provides a complete, step-by-step guide to the creation of conditions in which native wetland plants will thrive.
