Plants for Pollinators

About this book

A seasonal plant guide to boost your biodiversity and make your garden a pollinator-friendly haven. Pollinator populations--whether bees, bats, flies, birds, or moths--are declining globally, and there's an urgent need to reverse the decline. And that's where gardens come in. Any outside space can help sustain and increase wildlife, but how can your garden help? Can you choose plants that boost every bit of biodiversity? Which are the very best plants for pollinators? This fully illustrated, curated, seasonal guide tells you which plants to grow to help bring your garden to life. From garden favorites to wildflowers, more than 150 plants will be profiled. Each profile will include the plant's attraction for wildlife, advice on how to care for them, and ways to boost your biodiversity. The RHS's Plants for Pollinators list--developed by wildlife and plant experts--will be the source material, but the book will explain in much more detail how individual plants can attract certain types of wildlife. Data sets, pollinator listings, and cross-referencing will make this an essential tool in any gardener's understanding of how to grow plants that attract pollinators. With a bit of consideration, gardeners can be the guardians of the future, establishing their outside space as a haven for any type of pollinator at any time of year.
