    About this ebook

    Does a garden that requires little work, saves you money and protects the environment sound good? Would you also like a garden that’s healthy and thriving year round? Then Going Native is for you.

    Going Native will show you how small changes in the plants you choose can create a healthier garden that’s easy and inexpensive to maintain, benefits the environment, conserves resources and protects your area’s native species.

    Going Native will...

    * Guide you through the benefits of going native,
    * Provide tips on how to plan your native garden,
    * Tell you where to obtain native plants, and
    * Step you through getting your native garden off to the best start possible.

    In addition to this, Going Native will teach you the basics of eco-friendly gardening such as...

    * Controlling invasive species,
    * Going chemical free,
    * Dealing with pests and weeds,
    * Understanding soil type,
    * Rethinking your lawn,
    * Attracting wildlife, and more.

    To show off the beauty and variety of native plants, Going Native features over 80 full color photos of native plants across the U.S. and Canada. You'll also get ideas of which native plants will thrive in your area with Going Native's extensive regional plant list.

    Although written with gardeners from the U.S. and Canada in mind, gardeners around the world can use Going Native’s tips and information to create a healthy, low maintenance garden.

    So, if you’re ready for a healthier garden, it’s time to go native.

    What readers are saying:
    "This book builds a strong scientific foundation for choosing and nurturing native plants coupled with a reader friendly writing style which makes the information accessible to gardeners with varied levels of expertise."

    "[Going Native] was absolutely amazing. There are tips for every stage of gardening-- including the preparation, killing/deterring weeds, planting, etc. It's wonderfully detailed and helpful, and I'm so grateful to have it"

    "I found Going Native to be a very approachable guide on gardening. The advice was practical and informative without being preachy or stuffy. I highly recommend it to anyone wanting good practical garden advice."

    "This book is chock-full of information on how to incorporate native plants in the garden. It would be a great help to any new gardener who wishes to achieve the obvious benefits of going native: lower maintenance, lower impact on the environment, and to me most important, the beauty of the natural look."

    Author

    Tammie Painter

    Short Version:  I turn wickedly strong tea into historical fantasy fiction in which the gods, heroes, and myths of Ancient Greece come to life as you've never seen them before. When I'm not creating worlds or killing off characters, I wrangle honeybees to add a little adventure into my non-writing life.  Long Version:  Tammie Painter grew up in the creative world of Portland, Oregon, and she continues to call the City of Roses home. Although she spent years working as a chemist in a behavioral neuroscience research lab, she could never quite tame her passion for writing. Tammie has a knack for delving into and bringing life to history and mythology in her novels. Her fascination for myths, history, and how they interweave inspired the Osteria Chronicles series.  The current titles in the six-book series include *The Trials of Hercules *The Voyage *The Maze *The Bonds of Osteria (coming soon) When she isn't (but probably should be) writing, Tammie can be found digging in her garden, planning her next travel adventure, creating art, or persuading her hive of backyard bees to share some of their honey with her.
