Few people are more passionate about the plight of our precious pollinators than the marvellous Arthur Parkinson, and National Bee Day poses a perfect time to consider how we can all care for them.

In this week’s ‘grow, cook, eat, arrange’, we’re taking you through the entire year and which are the finest, nectar-rich flowers to bring a lively buzz to the garden throughout every season.

In this episode, discover:

• The perennial beauty of Iris Reticulata, with its silky, suave blues
• Early summer Roses to lift the mood and attract the buzz of pollinators in their masses
• Hardier flowers ideal for the later months, like Arthur’s oft-mentioned Cardoons
• A sneak peek at what to expect from Arthur’s next book, The Flower Yard 2
