Great photos and basic information
I thoroughly enjoyed this book. The photographs of the plants and the descriptions are what is needed to get someone started planting pollinator friendly garden. The key of different insects shows which ones are interested in each of the different plants is helpful. I was also glad to see that the plants were divided into native and introduced as well as tree, shrub and so on. Great value and loaded with information.Bestätigter Kauf: JaArtikelzustand: Neu

Excellent book on this topic
I expected this to be very well written but it exceeded even what I expected. It recommended specific varieties, what insects visited the flowers, and what butterfly or moth caterpillars used the plant. It even mentioned if the plant was useful for drawing in beneficial insects.Bestätigter Kauf: JaArtikelzustand: Neu
