Captivating wild beauty!

I'm absolutely enamored with this book and the concept of a chaos garden. My next project is to create my own wildflower meadowscape in my backyard, a sanctuary with native plants and flowers that sustain wildlife. The pictures in the book are gorgeous, but what I find particularly valuable are the comprehensive charts detailing what, where, and how to plant and the impact on the wildlife and ecosystem. All good for the environment and for developing a natural habitat for pollinators. The meadowscape results in a less expensive garden, less maintenance, and less artificial fertilizer and pesticide. In addition to the allure of creating untamed beauty, the author delves into the emotional and spiritual benefits that gardening brings to the soul. A beautiful book indeed.
