Praise
“In Grass isn’t Greener, Danae Wolfe reveals the future: when conservation will be done en masse by private citizens on private property. Wolfe captures this paradigm shift with all the detail you need to create a model ecological landscape. Kudos to Grass isn’t Greener for helping speed along this essential transition.”
—Douglas W. Tallamy, author of Nature's Best Hope
“Grass Isn’t Greener is bursting with progressive, actionable advice for nurturing an earth-friendly, habitat-rich oasis. Danae Wolfe is a gentle and informative guide, thoughtfully navigating the complexities of creating a safe and welcoming outdoor space in an age when speed and convenience too often supersede the health and well-being of our wild neighbors (and ourselves). In this comprehensive primer, Wolfe’s advice and captivating images steer readers down an alternative path, one filled with life and with love for the world outside our doors.”
—Nancy Lawson, The Humane Gardener
