This book was very informative and the illustrations are charming! I’ll definitely put some information I learned to use in my garden this year!

Oh my! I loved this book! The cover is so appealing... it drew my attention immediately and I thought this would be a modern, unique and interesting book about the often misunderstood creatures in the outdoors! I was right. It is an excellent collection of information that is accessible and enjoyable for a range of readers. One does not need a strong interest in nature to gain something from the read. It is however necessary to want to read about facts and science. A good read all together.

What a lovely illustrated book to sing praise for the tiny helpers in the garden! Thoughtfully laid out and filled with interesting information and ideas about how to celebrate the diversity that makes a healthy landscape. As a Master Gardener I can see this book being very popular for anyone with a passion for getting their hands dirty and digging into the makings of a beautiful garden. Thank you for the advanced copy of this book from Timber Press. I'll definitely be grabbing a physical copy at the bookstore.

When we try to tame nature, we usually come out on the losing end, as this delightful book attests. Gardeners will learn to work with, instead of against nature. Embracing helpful insects and plans and simply accepting that all plants and creatures have a place in our world. According an old farming saying, you plant one third of your crop for the insects, one third for the animals and one third for yourself. Accompanied with delightful drawings and snippets of lore, this is a must read for every gardener
