I'm on a mission to unravel and demystify the secret world of our garden pollinators and especially our bees. As a result I've written two books, which you might find interesting.
Plants and pollinators go hand in hand. They evolved together and need each other to exist. I've cherry picked some of the power plants for pollinators as well as some of our quirky and surprising pollinators. Hope you approve.
Since writing my books I've been sharing my passion with groups large and small. I prefer to do bee safaris and walks, using the plants and pollinators I find to tell their story. Come and join me at some lovely gardens and walk with me.
