Building Within Nature: A Guide for Home Owners, Contractors, and Architects

Building Within Nature makes the case that a structure built within nature should look as if it has been gently set down into a mature, established landscape, the easiest kind of landscape to maintain. Andy and Sally Wasowski show home owners, contractors, and architects how to preserve natural land during construction and let native flora thrive on rainfall alone.

Inside this guide:

• Profiles of sites across California, Arizona, South Carolina, Minnesota, and beyond
• Practical techniques for revegetation and preserving native habitat
• A clear discussion of the importance of healthy soils
• A blueprint for communities where wildlife and human life thrive together

With a foreword by acclaimed landscape architect Darrel G. Morrison, this practical, nontechnical book was praised by Library Journal as "highly recommended" for ecologically minded readers.
