BOOK, MANUSCRIPT, AND VISUAL ARTS DONATIONS
ERRATUM In the Fall 2019 issue of Garden Citings, there was an error in the article entitled “The Things They Left Behind: The Investigation
ON COVER Plate 243, Large Purple Fringe Orchid, from Mary Vaux Walcott’s North American Wild Flowers, V. 4 of the Meguiar Sisters.” Although the book inscription reads... Mary Lizzie & Sweetie Mcguair, Robinson County, Tenn., Springfield is actually
(Washington, D.C.: The Smithsonian Institution, 1925). located in Robertson County, Tennessee. The seventh paragraph erroneously lists the sisters as born in Springfield, Tennessee, in Robinson
County. Another layer of mystery to the investigation!

Join us September 2nd for an evening
with Douglas W. Tallamy discussing his
recently published book Nature’s Best
Hope: A New Approach to Conservation
that Starts in Your Yard
Douglas W. Tallamy’s first book, Bringing Nature Home, awakened thousands
of readers to an urgent situation: wildlife populations are in decline because
the native plants they depend on are fast disappearing. His solution?
Plant more natives.
In his new book, award-winning author, Doug Tallamy, takes the next step and
outlines his vision for a grassroots approach to conservation. Nature’s Best
Hope shows homeowners everywhere how to turn their yards into conservation
corridors that provide wildlife habitats.
Tallamy will share with us his vision of a world where, as he describes in the
introduction to Nature’s Best Hope, “Landscaping will become synonymous
with ecological restoration.” He believes that as earth stewards, we will live not
with less but with more as our lives are enriched by birds, butterflies, blossoms,
and the abundant animal and plant biodiversity thriving in our own backyards.
Hear from Tallamy how you can use Nature’s Best Hope as a blueprint for
doing your part to help preserve our precious wildlife—and the planet—
for future generations.
ABOUT THE AUTHOR
Doug Tallamy is a professor in the Department of Entomology and Wildlife
Ecology at the University of Delaware, where he has authored 97 research
publications and has taught insect related courses for 40 years. Chief among
his research goals is to better understand the many ways insects interact with
plants and how such interactions determine the diversity of animal communities.
His book Bringing Nature Home (Timber Press, 2007) was awarded the 2008 Silver
Medal by the Garden Writers’ Association. The Living Landscape, coauthored
with Rick Darke, was published in 2014. Doug’s new book Nature’s Best Hope is a
New York Times Best Seller. Among his awards are the Garden Club of America’s
Margaret Douglas Medal for Conservation and Tom Dodd, Jr. Award of Excellence,
the 2018 American Horticultural Society’s B.Y. Morrison Communication Award,
and the 2019 Cynthia Westcott Scientific Writing Award.

on the structural characteristics of plants, like leaf or seed

He explains: “A garden is exciting for me when it looks good

Intimate discussions take place through all four seasons

his genius, including desert wildflowers in West Texas and
postindustrial forests in Pennsylvania.
