Plants for Pollinators

A seasonal plant guide to boost your biodiversity and make your garden a pollinator-friendly haven.

Pollinator populations – whether bees, hoverflies, butterflies, or moths – are declining globally and there’s an urgent need to reverse the decline. 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 favourites to wildflowers, more than 150 plants are profiled. Each profile includes the plant’s attraction for wildlife, advice on how to care for them, and the best ways to manage growth for pollinators in particular and wildlife more generally.

The book also includes a visual guide to the most common pollinators that may visit your garden, including many less familiar species, so that you can spot new visitors and track
the increase in biodiversity as you plant for pollinators.
