Cute and informative! Mostly UK focused (weird since I picked it up in Pittsburgh). Also had a handful of typos? But overall a quick, not unpleasant read!

this probably isn't intended to be read cover to cover, because I found it a bit repetitive in places, which I think is because if you're looking up specific information you'll want to have certain bits of information repeated multiple places. that said this is a delightful read and beautifully illustrated. as a starting guide for creating a wildlife-friendly garden it's very barebones - I'd have expected a few more plant suggestions - but on the other hand I imagine that having a pared down list of plants makes it less overwhelming to get started.
it's no secret that I want a garden of my own (and always have) but right now I'm feeling that longing very much. one day!!! until then I suppose I'll continue to buy and read the 'planting for' books as I come across them (I bought Planting for Honeybees: The Grower's Guide to Creating a Buzz on holiday in Cardiff two years ago, it's only fitting I bought this one now on holiday in York...)
