INSECTS AND GARDENS
Eric Grissell
Hardcover, 345 pages, $29.95
Sale $25.00 |
Unlike other books on insects for gardeners, this is not a handbook on how
to recognize and eliminate "pests." Instead, Insects and Gardens casts a
more appreciative eye on the doings of the class Insecta and seeks to find
a middle ground in which both humankind and insectkind can share the garden
to mutual fit. Mo absolute purist, however, Grisell guiltily confesses to
having broken down and used pesticides in desperation more than once. Gardeners
will find here a companionable friend with high ideals rather than an unyielding
taskmaster. More than one hundred remarkable color photographs reveal the
captivating beauty and vital energy that insects bring to the garden, and
illuminate the intricacies of interdependence that characterize a garden's
ecology.
