Countless Australian species of birds, bees and butterflies are in decline or threatened with extinction, but you can help.
Writer and gardener Jaclyn Crupi shows us that protecting and fostering precious native wildlife starts in our own backyards. The first step: start planting! And choose native plants where possible. This alone presents endless opportunities for habitat creation – sometimes it's the smallest actions that make the biggest difference. Providing a well-placed dish of water on a hot day or allowing leaf litter to stay where it falls are among the many other super simple ways you can make your garden more attractive to native birds, bees and butterflies, and in turn benefit all species.
Loads of practical advice for gardeners and novices alike Detailed planting plans for all types of gardens, from native to exotic, coastal to food forests. Bird, bee and butterfly galleries to help you identify your visitors
Includes conversations and insights from other beloved Australian garden experts (Jac Semmler, Sam Cox, Hannah Moloney and Clarence Slocklee) in a stunning hardback format.

“Jaclyn shows us how with a heart full of aspiration, lots of observation, a dose of patience and plenty of fun filled action we can welcome wildlife into the world where we live. What the world needs now is lots of every day ways that we can connect with nature. Jaclyn gives us the steps and most importantly the confidence to get started. ”

Praise for Pasta Love
“Jaclyn loves pasta! This is a delightful book, not only for the words but also for the truly lovely illustrations by the very talented Felicita Sala. Jaclyn has solved a couple of mysteries for me, and anyone searching for an explanation of anything to do with pasta will be certain to find it in this book. As well she has sought out and included the personal pasta stories of many nonnas who have been making their favourite pasta shapes for many, many years. I cannot wait to try some of the pasta recipes included.”
Stephanie Alexander
“Jaclyn understands the power of pasta, and of stories. Here she celebrates both, with tenderness and technique in equal measure. If you like Pasta Grannies, you’ll love Pasta Love. This book is something to learn from, and to treasure. ”
