Check out _Noah's Garden_, by ? Sarah Stone and _The Natural Habitat 
Garden_, by Ken Druse.  (Names from memory, so they may not be accurate) 
Sneak a peek at the bookstore if you can't find it at your local library.  
The National Wildlife Association has information, too.  I don't have the 
reference handy, check with the reference staff at your library.  Also, 
your state's Natural History Survey will probably have some relevant 
publications on wildlife and plants.

Enjoy.
