Gardening for Bees

In our nature depleted country our wildlife needs all the help it can get. Gardens take up about 30% of the green space in our urban areas and so are ideal for creating habitats that will attract wildlife of all types.

This is a comprehensive list of plants suitable for your garden compiled by bee expert Richard Rickitt, bee keeper at Westonbirt Arboretum. Not only will these plants attract bees but also a wide range of other pollinators too.
