That is an interesting perspective from someone that lives in a place where (they believe) loss of habitat is not yet critical.

Jeff Lowenfels is the author of Teaming with Microbes: The Organic Gardener's Guide to the Soil Food Web; and I see that he's authored a new book Teaming with Nutrients: The Organic Gardener's Guide to Optimizing Plant Nutrition.
Teaming with Microbes: The Organic Gardener's Guide to the Soil Food Web Teaming with Nutrients: The Organic Gardener's Guide to Optimizing Plant Nutrition I'm really glad to see that someone is moving these two interest groups (organic gardeners, native plants) closer together. They have a common overriding interest - a healthy land and a healthy environment. Both groups advocate for more sustainable practices. They can both benefit from helping the other succeed. They can both benefit from the knowledge of the other. Both groups are garnering more attention from the public and from scientists. I think Wildlife Gardeners has recognized this natural partnership from its inception. By providing discussion forums for both groups at one website Wildlife Gardeners provides a place for both groups to see this natural relationship and learn from each other.
