Birds, Bees and Butterflies is an amusing but authoritative account of the establishment of the Daws Hall Nature Reserve, a twenty-five-acre garden, wildlife haven, and environmental education center dedicated to environmental education that is located on the Suffolk–Essex border. Daws Hall Trust founder Major Iain Grahame has filled the volume with colourful anecdotes and descriptions of events along the way that are both entertaining and informative. Accompanied by ninety illustrations and a foreword by the English gardener, broadcaster, poet, and novelist Alan Titchmarsh, this splendid volume is not to be missed. Children of all ages will benefit from this hidden gem, while gardeners can draw inspiration from the outstanding collection of rare trees and shrubs, plus a superb collection of old roses.
