Product Description:
When people talk about the joys of gardening, they're usually referring to the flora rather than the fauna. But the pleasures of the garden are often accompanied by creatures who likely have not been invited: slugs, aphids, spiders, beetles. But they're nothing to be afraid of: they're all part of a fascinating natural world right beneath your feet. Guests in Your Garden is a whimsical illustrated compendium of historical facts, trivia, and folklore about these amazing creatures. Guests in Your Garden takes a fresh look at the amazing array of creatures that share your turf, and invites you to think of your "pests" as guests. Author Michele Davidson and illustrator Eve Corbel take you on a personal guided tour of the intriguing garden species - common to many areas of the U.S. and Canada - that make every backyard or balcony garden a natural wonder. This delightful and charming book is ideal for curious gardeners and bug people alike.
