3. Livable Plants for the Home Landscape
Once you’ve done the work to eradicate problem species, it can be a challenge to choose new plant combinations that will thrive together in a particular habitat. This booklet looks at common habitats homeowners are likely to encounter on their own properties and provides advice on planting and maintaining them with non-invasive plants.
