“Creating a Backyard Haven…”Many people approach gardening as a constant struggle against the outside world. They’re perpetually at war with nature, investing in chemical treatments to fight off mammals, birds, and insects in an effort to preserve their garden as a pristine, unspoiled patch of earth. Marlene A. Condon proposes a radically different method of gardening: What if, instead of battling the natural world, we invite it into our yards?
