Countless Australian species of birds, bees and butterflies are in decline or threatened with extinction, but you can help.

Writer and gardener Jaclyn Crupi shows us that protecting and fostering precious native wildlife starts in our own backyards. The first step: start planting! And choose native plants where possible. This alone presents endless opportunities for habitat creation - sometimes it's the smallest actions that make the biggest difference. Providing a well-placed dish of water on a hot day or allowing leaf litter to stay where it falls are among the many other super simple ways you can make your garden more attractive to native birds, bees and butterflies, and in turn benefit all species.

Loads of practical advice for gardeners and novices alike

Detailed planting plans for all types of gardens, from native to exotic, coastal to food forests

Bird, bee and butterfly galleries to help you identify your visitors

Includes conversations and insights from other beloved Australian garden experts (Jac Semmler,

Sam Cox, Hannah Moloney and Clarence Slocklee) in a standout hardback package.
