Urban and Suburban Meadows by Catherine Zimmerman - signed

While organic lawn care experts have demonstrated that you can have an organically managed, traditional lawn without toxic pesticides and chemical fertilizers, Catherine Zimmerman, a horticulturist and landscape designer with a background in environmental film, takes a different approach in her book. Urban and Suburban Meadows explains how to create a vibrant meadow ecosystem, in which native grasses combine with colorful perennials to form a rich tapestry that is friendly to all life--without pesticides and minimal input of water, time and other scarce resources. The book, which is signed by the author, is filled with beautiful color photos and and takes you step-by-step through the process of converting your yard to a meadow.
