The Golden Company. Profile and overview. The creation and development of designed environments that are rich in planting, vegetation and nature is central to my research and practice.

profile and overview

This work combines and integrates my background and experience in both horticulture, landscape design and ecology. While ecological ideas in landscape design have often been applied at the larger scale, my focus is at both the large scale and at the smaller scale: gardens, urban parks, on and around buildings, and in high-density built development. BBC Two - Bees, Butterflies and Blooms, Cities. Sustainability. Biotechnology and Biological Sciences Research Council (BBSRC) - Home. Plants for pollinators. We have compiled three downloadable plant lists to help gardeners identify plants that will provide nectar and pollen for bees and the many other types of pollinating insects: RHS Perfect for Pollinators – Garden Plants (566kB pdf) RHS Perfect for Pollinators – Wildflowers (759kB pdf) RHS Perfect for Pollinators – Plants of the World (722kB pdf) The plants were chosen using the extensive experience, archives and records of RHS entomologists, gardeners and beekeepers in addition to published lists and scientific evidence.

The lists are maintained by a team of RHS staff, including horticultural advisors, entomologists and botanists and is reviewed annually. Plantlife.
