The Bee Friendly Garden

A grower's handbook to attracting bees and other beneficial insects.

Book Hero Magic formatted this description to make it easier to read. While it's new and still learning, it may not be perfect - your feedback is welcome! Description

Bees are our most important pollinators, and they are in decline the world over. They love to live in urban environments, where it's a short flight path from one type of plant to the next. However, conventional gardens that favour lawns and pesticides over flowers and edible plants are scaring the good bugs away.

The Bee Friendly Garden is a guide for all gardeners, great and small, to encourage bees and other beneficial bugs to your green space.

Includes:

  • How bees forage and why your garden needs them
  • A comprehensive plant guide to bee-friendly plants
  • Simple changes anybody can make
  • Ideas for gardens of all sizes
  • Natural pest control and companion planting advice
