"From picking dandelion crowns in Iceland to wrestling with clay soil in Michigan, one woman's journey proves that every yard can become a sanctuary. Growing up in Iceland, Edith Andersen thought of dandelions as treasures. But when she came to America, she bought into the lawn obsession like millions of others: mowing, fertilizing, and spraying in pursuit of the perfect green carpet. It took Douglas Tallamy's Nature's Best Hope to wake her up. Now, as a Master Gardener with 20+ years of experience creating wildlife habitat in her own backyard, she's part of a quiet revolution happening in neighborhoods across the country.
