"A delightful, easy to understand guidebook. . . . Not only is the science impeccable, this outdoor lover’s manual is full of wisdom, history and wonderful observations about nature, even human nature."--Lloyd Brinson, Briar Patch Books

“The first book I’ve come across that relates pollinators to garden design and focuses on the southern region, Pollinator Gardening for the South raises awareness of the importance that insects play in our daily lives and shows how we can become better stewards of nature through our landscape approaches. The need for this book in the classroom, gardener training programs, and the green industry profession is great.” Brie Arthur, author of The Foodscape Revolution: Finding a Better Way to Make Space for Food and Beauty in Your Garden and Gardening with Grains

“Pollinator Gardening for the South offers a unique approach to creating pollinator gardens and habitats—no other book like it exists. With this gardening guide in hand, anyone can learn to create gardens to support pollinators at all scales, large and small—even as small as a container garden! The authors will be alongside you every step of the way. Truly a book for everyone, from beginners to seasoned landscape professionals.”—Patricia R. Drackett, director of the Crosby Arboretum at Mississippi State University
