Noah's Garden shows us how the landscape style of neat yards and gardens has devastated suburban ecology. It kills entire communities of plants and animals by stripping bare their habitats and destroying their food supplies. Her book interweaves an account of her efforts to change her methods with an explanation of the ecology of gardens.
