Announcing a great new book (which includes photos of FTGP by yours truly) written by my friend and colleague Kim Eierman. The Pollinator Victory Garden lays out the means to attract and provide for all different types of pollinators. Kim’s prose is a model of clarity (not always easy when we’re discussing biology), presenting life cycle information that allows the reader a deeper understanding of the needs of our pollinators. Extensive plant lists are the icing on the cake, leaving nothing to chance. Follow this link:

Hello Gardeners!   The “Pause” has given me a precious gift of time to read Dr. Doug Tallamy’s latest book, which under normal conditions I wouldn’t have had time to read until next winter.  And I am so glad I read it now, because there is so much positive energy in this book.  I believe it may turn out to be the Silent Spring of our generation. But don’t just take my word for it.  Angela Tanner, writing in the latest Ecological Landscape Association’s  e-newsletter, says it better than I can:
