A New Garden Ethic

Book Description
In a time of climate change and mass extinction, how we garden matters more than ever: “An outstanding and deeply passionate book.” —Marc Bekoff, author of The Emotional Lives of Animals Plenty of books tell home gardeners and professional landscape designers how to garden sustainably, what plants to use, and what resources to explore. Yet few examine why our urban wildlife gardens matter so much—not just for ourselves, but for the larger human and animal communities. Our landscapes push aside wildlife and in turn diminish our genetically programmed love for wildness. How can we get ourselves back into balance through gardens, to speak life's language and learn from other species? Benjamin Vogt addresses why we need a new garden ethic, and why we urgently need wildness in our daily lives—lives sequestered in buildings surrounded by monocultures of lawn and concrete that significantly harm our physical and mental health. He examines the psychological issues around climate change and mass extinction as a way to understand how we are short-circuiting our response to global crises, especially by not growing native plants in our gardens. Simply put, environmentalism is not political; it's social justice for all species marginalized today and for those facing extinction tomorrow. By thinking deeply and honestly about our built landscapes, we can create a compassionate activism that connects us more profoundly to nature and to one another.
Field Guide for Low-Maintenance Vegetation Establishment and Management

Pages : 145
Book Description
This field guide was written primarily for natural resource and project managers of Corps of Engineer reservoir projects who are faced with the increased costs of establishing and maintaining vegetation. The guide is also applicable to other types of project areas. It was designed to serve as an immediately available reference for the resource manager who may not have had an extensive background in soil and plant science. A flow diagram that guides the manager through problem assessment and problem-solving information is included in each of the five parts. Part Ii guides the manager through steps and checklists for cataloging, defining, locating, and quantifying vegetation problems. Part III presents basic considerations that will allow the manager to identify resource data needs and make observations which generally identify vegatative establishment and maintenance problems. Part IV assists the manager in assessing whether necessary resource data bases are available and which procedures are necessary to obtain this information. Part V provides low-maintenance strategies and information to aid the manager in identifying major climatic zones of the project area and selecting and using vegetation types (i.e., grasses, shrubs, trees). Part V also addresses special problems, erosion control, and off-road vehicle strategies.
