Planting for Pollinators: Creating a Garden Haven

In this book on how plants attract and reward pollinators, award-winning wildlife photographer Angel (visiting prof., Nottingham Univ.; Pollination Power) writes from the perspective of a nature photographer monitoring garden insects throughout the year. This book is written for a British audience and climate, so readers in other areas will have to adjust their hardiness expectations accordingly. Any reader, however, will likely be inspired to investigate similar plant varieties in their own regions. While several short sections of the book center environmental issues, the heart of the book is about plants—including an engaging look at winter flowering varieties—and techniques more suitable for experienced gardeners who are familiar with choosing and caring for specialized plants. The author’s photos and illustrations of flowers and insects make this book a delight to peruse for ideas.
