Gardening with children is a pleasure in itself, but when you learn to include wildlife in your plans, gardening
becomes an even more joyful family experience. Creating a garden that invites wildlife opens up a wider world of
nature for investigation, inspiration, and delight. Begin to see your yard from an animal's perspective; discover
plants that attract colorful birds and bugs; embrace sensory experiences that native plants and creatures bring;
and understand how your yard fits into the surrounding landscape. Along the way you will discover simple ways
you can actively support wildlife in your immediate environment, no matter where you live. This family-friendly
guide to wildlife gardening leads you on a path to discovery, where trees are transformed into bird and animal
habitats, where sunny spots are revered for dragonfly viewing, and where your entire garden becomes an
animal-welcoming kingdom.

These hilarious essays on life inside and outside a Zen monastery make up the spiritual memoir of Shozan Jack
Haubner, a Zen monk who didn't really start out to be one. Raised in a conservative Catholic family, Shozan went
