Sustainable gardening is becoming more important to our planet, communities, and our health. Part of sustainability is maintaining our natural habitats and maintaining a key balanc e with nonnative species. In her debut book, seasoned gardening writer Kim Frisbie aims to educate South Florida gardeners about how they can best maintain a visually appealing lawn and home garden while also using naive plants and not over manicuring. Kim underscores the dangers of pesticides, herbicides, and fungicides to our health and how natural flora on Florida can help avoid the need for these chemicals while creating a beautiful landscape. Kim has a history of writing about gardening from Horticulture Magazine in the late 1970s to newspapers throughout the country. Currently, she writes for the Palm Beach Post about native Florida gardening and plants. Readers will not only learn about the tips and tricks for maintaining sustainable plants in their home gardens but will also discover the importance of our native population of birds, insects, and other fauna.
