[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Get this guy's books. Also, any non-native plant has the potential to become invasive. Ask me about the effort and money that I've spent trying to eradicate some atrocities that the former owners planted. I have a garden full of native plants and a huge amount of bumblebees, other native bees and wasps, tons of butterflies and birds. The never bothered my two very active boys who played outside all the time. We kept a small patch of grass 
for soccer but the rest is all native plants.

+100000 on these books. "Bringing Nature Home" and "Nature's Best Hope." The best books for me when I was a beginner. Breaks the science down easily and helpful in planning what to plant. This guy is great!

"Bees in your Backyard", which is a guide to bees in North America, was also great. And, if your interested in Mason Bees, "Mason Been Revolution." Also tons of websites, FB groups, etc. to help those interested in being educated and making changes in your yard.
