‘A wonderful journey through the magical world of plants.’ – Frances Tophill
The perfect guide for any gardener looking for inspiration on how to create a pollinator-friendly garden all year round.
Pollinators are essential to life on Earth. Yet bees, butterflies and other beneficial insects are struggling due to climate change and habit loss. Fortunately, what we choose to plant in our gardens can help them to thrive. In this heartfelt guide, horticulturalist and Gardener’s World presenter Rachel de Thame highlights plants we can grow that are rich in nectar and pollen, ensuring the garden is filled with beautiful flowers for us all to enjoy year-round.
Arranged by season and illustrated with exquisite hand-painted watercolours and glorious photography showcasing many of Rachel’s favourite plants, this book provides a captivating look at how best to support nature. Whether you have a small urban courtyard or a large country garden, A Flower Garden for Pollinators will guide your choice of plants, attracting a host of pollinators to your own patch of paradise.

A wonderful journey through the magical world of plants. This is a joy to see - a collaboration between mother and daughter, who both bring their view of the world of flowers in their unique and gentle way. Really lovely read.

In her new book, A Flower Garden for Pollinators, Rachel de Thame argues that gardens don't need to be either wildlife friendly or beautiful - they can be both... The book is divided into seasons, highlighting some of her favourite plants... it is also packed with sumptuous photographs by Jonathan Buckley, and stunning illustrations by her daughter Lauren Lusk.
...this thorough work will show you how to include [a dedicated area for pollinators] in a beautiful, productive way, whatever the space.
