Kate Frey is an accomplished gardener. She earned awards from the Chelsea Flower Show. She co-authored The American Horticultural Society’s Best Gardening Book of 2017. And she tended an organic farm for a Saudi Prince for two years. Needless to say, I was dying to interview her for the Gardenerd Tip of the Week Podcast.

Bee-Friendly Gardens Kate Frey

Kates first book, The Bee-Friendly Garden, is co-authored with Gretchen LaBuhn. Together they explore the basics of biodiversity, including plant recommendations, design tips, and overall care for your local pollinators.
