"What a valuable, comprehensive, timely, and beautiful resource! Lorraine Johnson and Sheila Colla provide the rationale, urgency, and detailed know-how for restoring essential pollinator habitats, not only for the rusty-patched bumblebee, but for all of Ontario’s pollinators."
 
Lorraine Johnson's books have been a great native plant resource for me since 1995. I currently use three of her books as part of my native plant planning tool kit. I think her new book is going to be a must for anyone who wants to help our native species.
