"The design of gardens and landscapes is one of the most important ways in which we can make space for wildlife; this book is simply the most detailed and authoritative source of information on the subject I have yet seen." -- Noel Kingsbury, Sheffield University, author of Gardens by Design and Designing Borders
"Whether your site is an apartment balcony, suburban backyard, or corporate park, Kress offers plenty of techniques for enhancing its value for forest, prairie, or shrubland birds.... Kress both urges and empowers all to begin the 'urgent and satisfying work' of creating natural havens that wildlife increasingly needs to survive." -- Julie Dunlap, American Gardener, September-October 2006
