Good link for anyone that has not read the Bringing Nature Home. Contains the two main ideas of the book, the link between native plants and wildlife and the role gardeners may play in conserving biodiversity.

I finally did read his book a few months ago. I'm still going to check out the chapters because it is worth repeating.
