A Flower Garden for Pollinators is a very well illustrated and information rich gardening guide for pollinator supportive species diverse gardening by Rachel de Thame. Due out 11th June from Hachette on their Mobius imprint, it's 207 pages and will be available in hardcover and ebook formats.
This is a year-round guide for creating a good environment and support for pollinators. The emphasis is on diversity and natural organic techniques. The chapters are arranged around the seasons: Spring, Summer, Autumn, and Winter. Each season showcases plants at their best during the season. Plant profiles used throughout include binomial (Latin) names as well as common names. The photography throughout is stunning and in full color. Additionally, the text is enhanced by small pen and ink illustrations and gorgeous color botanical art by Lauren Lusk.
Five stars. This would be an excellent choice for public library acquisition, home reference, gift giving, or for allotment/gardening group library.
Disclosure: I received an ARC at no cost from the author/publisher for review purposes
