Beautiful book with gorgeous photographs. This book walks through 20 different steps to understanding and growing gardens in lieu of lawns. Lots of suggestions in what to plant where, how to invite in pollinators and beneficial wildlife, and so much more. Thoughtfully laid out and a joy to read. Will be a great addition to my gardening collection.

This is such a helpful and easy to read book! It is full of tons of information on how to make meaningful (and feasible) changes that improve our own quality of life as well as our relationships with nature!

A practical guide for transforming your yard from turf/grass to plants native to your area, this book outlines some high-level steps for making the change (and a host of reasons to do it). I appreciate books like this, but the problem is that the nation and the world is so large with such diverse climates that it's hard to know which advice will be truly relevant - and hard to add truly useful specifics to a book that isn't region-specific. Still, a good starter manual.

Grass Isn’t Greener is a beautiful book that would be best for beginners/ those new to the topics. The book dives into 20 topics, so it covers a wide breadth and not a lot within each topic. The boom would be great to be introduced to lots of ideas, that you can then further research. The book does not introduce any new or novel concepts, so for some readers it won’t be value added.

This is a very informative without being overwhelming. It has some easy and accessible steps people can take to improve the conservation in their yards. It includes activities families could do with their children. Really only for home owners not much for container gardeners and renters.

Yes, please buy this book. I’ll give an automatic 4.5 stars to any book that encourages lessening your lawn, planting more native plants, getting rid of invasive plants and creating safe spaces for wildlife. I’m excited to hold the actual book in my hands and place it in my home library.
Full of important, yet often simple ways to encourage a more sustainable yard. There are also little projects in here ranging from easy peasy (bird feeders) to weekend projects (building a pond).
Great book for a new homeowner or anyone looking to make the planet a more livable place.

This is a beautiful, helpful book on creating a natural yard. Covers everything you can think of, from tick control to seed saving to leaves to dealing with neighbors. It’s full of gorgeous photos, tons of info and inspiration.

I read a temporary digital loan of this book for review.

This book is great and i wish I had been able to read it years ago when I was just starting out my gardening adventures. Wolfe shares a lot of high quality info about gardening and landscaping sustainably and I wish more people would read this and practice green.
