"Frédérique Lavoipierre explains how your garden can be more than a collection of high-maintenance decorations; it can be a thriving, balanced community that gives more to your landscape than it takes." -- Douglas W. Tallamy, author of The Nature of Oaks , Nature's Best Hope , and Bringing Nature Home " Garden Allies introduces and engages readers about the many phenomenal organisms--from soil-dwelling microorganisms to beetles, bees, bacteria, and bats--who are our natural allies in the garden. In demystifying these fabulous creatures, Lavoipierre inspires us as gardeners to stop, look, listen, learn, and put away the toxic chemicals." -- Jennifer Jewell, creator and host of Cultivating Place, author of The Earth in Her Hands "An excellent resource for any gardener willing to press pause before turning to the pesticide." -- Booklist "A useful and interesting read for rookie, armchair, and experienced gardeners.

Frédérique Lavoipierre explains how your garden can be more than a collection of high-maintenance decorations; it can be a thriving, balanced community that gives more to your landscape than it takes.

In demystifying these fabulous creatures, Lavoipierre inspires us as gardeners to stop, look, listen, learn, and put away the toxic chemicals.

In Garden Allies, biologist and lifelong garden educator Frédérique Lavoipierre shares fascinating portraits of these beneficial creatures. You'll learn how they keep the garden's ecology in dynamic balance, how to welcome them into your yard, and how they form a # harmonious whole with the plants and soil in your garden-and even with you.
