Judith Larner Lowry 
Gardening with a Wild Heart 
Restoring California’s Native Landscapes at Home

Judith Lowry’s voice and experiences make a rich matrix for essays that include discussions of wildflower gardening, the ecology of native grasses, wildland seed-collecting, principles of natural design, and plant/animal interactions. This lyrical and articulate mix of the practical and the poetic combines personal story, wildland ecology, restoration gardening practices, and native plant horticulture.
