Our Favorite Books

Did you know we sell a curated assortment of books?  We select the books we think are  most helpful, and offer them at a discount from cover price.

We’ve ordered in a fresh selection of many titles, including books for children on trees, sticker books, and much more.  Stop in our Gift Shed to see the awesome selection. Here are the details on just a few of them.  Scroll down for more pictures!

Peterson Guide to Bird Identification―in 12 Steps – Great for beginners and young families.

Planting Native to Attract Birds to Your Yard —

Native Plants of the Northeast: A Guide for Gardening and Conservation— We love this book as a general reference for most species.  It lists their cultural needs, their size and habit and has great photographs.

Deer-Resistant Native Plants for the Northeast — If you have deer, you need this guide!  (Now, if only the deer would read it….  but it is a good starting point. )

The Life Cycles of Butterflies (From Egg to Maturity, a Visual Guide to 23 Common Garden Butterflies) – We fell in love with this book as soon as we saw it.  Beautiful pictures, easy to use.  Great for kids and adults.  Photos of caterpillars and adults.

Bringing Nature Home-Rev & Exp (09) by Tallamy, Douglas W [Paperback (2009)]  If you haven’t read it, it’s time.  You will be energized and enthusiastic to start your landscape on the road to playing a role in the ecosystem.

Newcomb’s Wildflower Guide — wondering what that wildflower is?  This guide will help!

The next three guides in this list are cute little pocket sized books you can take on a walk with you.  It will help you identify trees by their leaves or winter bark, or berries.  Easy to use.  A great introduction to using keys for plant ID.

Winter Tree Finder: A Manual for Identifying Deciduous Trees in Winter (Eastern US) (Nature Study Guides)
