Noah's Garden

I really think we need a new book club discussion to get us through the winter. I highly recommend Noah's Garden: Restoring the Ecology of Our Own Backyards by Sara Stein.
I think EVERY gardener should read this book (and preferably also the companion to it Planting Noah's Garden). They are very well written and very inspiring on how much difference we can make by planting native wildlife friendly gardens, with her journey from being a traditional lawn/exotic flowers/chemicals kind of gardener with the how and why of it all. I find myself wanting to suggest it every time someone writes in talking about planting 800 of the same species of tree or a 15 foot hedge of invasive exotic stuff...
Please?
