'What the world needs now is lots of everyday ways that we can connect with nature. Jaclyn gives us the steps and, most importantly, the confidence to get started.' Costa Georgiadis

What can we do in our own backyards to help protect and foster our precious native wildlife?

This beautifully illustrated and photographed guide by writer and gardener Jaclyn Crupi shows us how we can all create gardens that are a haven for native wildlife.
The first step: start planting - and choose native plants where possible. From there, you'll find that opportunities for habitat creation are endless, and often it's the small actions that make a big difference. Providing a well-placed dish of water on a hot day or allowing leaf litter to stay where it falls are among the many simple ways you can make your garden more attractive to birds, bees and butterflies, which in turn benefits all species.
Here you'll find loads of practical advice and detailed planting plans for front and backyards, verges, balconies, rooftops and other shared spaces (because native wildlife really doesn't mind where it finds habitat). Plus there's a pictorial guide to help you identify your new friends when they visit.

Includes conversations and insights from other beloved Australian garden experts (Jac Semmler, Sam Cox, Hannah Moloney and Clarence Slocklee) in a standout hardback package.
