Gardeners—and anyone else alarmed by the decline in pollinators—will find guidance and inspiration in Pollinator Friendly Gardening: Gardening for Bees, Butterflies and Other Pollinators (Voyageur Press, 2016). Rhonda Hayes, master gardener, Star Tribune columnist, garden writer, and blogger (thegardenbuzz.com), encourages gardeners to cultivate pollinator-friendly plots. Her book includes design tips, information about pollinators’ life cycle and behaviors, plant lists, interviews with experts, and gorgeous photos (her own).
