If you grew up in the US, did you ever read Ranger Rick magazine as a kid? I think when I was 8 or 10 years old I had a subscription and loved it. I was always very excited when the next issue arrived. I think this might have been my first ever subscription to any magazine, and I had it for several years.
Anyway, the people who publish Ranger Rick magazine (still!) sent me an email telling me about this new guide available for download on their website.
This guide is primarily targeted towards people living in the US, but the same basic principles apply anywhere. It’s well written and spot on. Many of us already know a lot of what’s in this guide, and have already made posts along these lines. In any event this subject deserves a lot more of our attention.
Very interesting, thanks for the link. I think the mag I read as a kid was chickadee.
Ottawa Gardener —
I don’t think there are any readers of this blog who are implementing as many of the suggestions in this guide as you are right now in your garden and blog. Native and non-invasive species of plants; reducing lawn size; the list goes on!
When I read this guide, you were the first person I thought of.
When I said we needed to pay more attention to this subject, I didn’t mean you…
I liked Ranger Rick! (and so did my son…) Nice to know they are making it available in the cyber world!
