About this product
Product Information
"With our hearts and minds focused on the stewardship of the only planet we have, the best way to engage in a hopeful future is to plant oaks! Let this book be your inspiration and guide." --The American Gardener With Bringing Nature Home , Doug Tallamy changed the conversation about gardening in America. His second book, the New York Times bestseller Nature's Best Hope , urged homeowners to take conservation into their own hands. Now, he turns his advocacy to one of the most important species of the plant kingdom--the mighty oak tree. Oaks sustain a complex and fascinating web of wildlife. The Nature of Oaks reveals what is going on in oak trees month by month, highlighting the seasonal cycles of life, death, and renewal. From woodpeckers who collect and store hundreds of acorns for sustenance to the beauty of jewel caterpillars, Tallamy illuminates and celebrates the wonders that occur right in our own backyards. He also shares practical advice about how to plant and care for an oak, along with information about the best oak species for your area. The Nature of Oaks will inspire you to treasure these trees and to act to nurture and protect them.

I’m kind of grossed out. I went out of my way to find a copy of Lolita without a cover of a young girl or anything suggestive bc it’s a story about … yeah. So I bought it specifically for the cover. The book comes in and the cover is the complete opposite of what I wanted and the exact thing I didn’t want. I feel gross looking at it and my first thought was “I’m gonna rip the cover off this”. It’s in good condition otherwise but I’m kind of upset
