Mother Earth's Garden

Book Review: Bird By Bird Gardening

Bird By Bird GardeningI’ve been checking out Bird-by-Bird Gardening by Sally Roth. It’s an excellent resource for anyone just getting started gardening for birds. It breaks down the different types of birds and discusses what features you need in your garden to attract specific bird families.

It also shows several specific garden designs and makes suggestions for improving your existing garden. It’s more of a reference guide than a book you would sit down and read cover to cover.

It is a great beginner book for someone who wants to learn more about creating a habitat in their back yard to attract birds. If you’re already fairly knowledgeable on the subject you may find this book too basic.

The book has some beautiful photos, I just wish it had a few more. Some of the birds they discuss don’t have photos. I’m not always familiar with the names of birds, but may be able to identify them by their photo. I had to look up several bird names in a birding guide just to see what the bird looked like.

  1. Sounds like it would be a good book for as I’m definitely a beginner! We live in the country so we have a lot of birds, but not a lot of variety. I’ll have to check into the book. Thanks!
