Books on Native Plants

Here in Georgia, we are lucky to have some really conservation botanists who have pulled together amazing resources for us! In addition to Georgia-centric books, I have also included some books from other areas that are really great! 

Bring Nature Home - Dr. Douglas Tallamy, Entomology Professor at the University of Delaware, has created a book that shows us how and why we should use native plants in our yard.

Forest Plants of the Southeast - This book has been a bible of sorts for me for quite some time. It covers a wide array of common native plants in our area.

Native Tress of of the Southeast - This book can help you become a native tree expert, if you want to! Learn how to identify trees even in the winter!

Natural Communities of Georgia - This is an updated version of Dr. Wharton's Natural Environments of Georgia. I cannot say enough good things about this book. It not only describes the habitats we have here in Georgia, it tells you where to go to see the habitats being described. If you want to learn more about the natural areas of Georgia, this is a book you need!

If there are other books that you adore that I have not included here, please let me know in the comments below!
