Butterfly Gardening 

- how to encourage butterflies to your garden

 

Butterfly Gardening

The average garden probably has seven or eight species of butterfly visiting it each year, but with some thoughtful planting and a good look at how we manage our gardens, that number could go up to twenty species or more.  Butterflies are far less numerous than they were even twenty years ago, and many gardeners would like to help these beautiful insects by inviting them to visit and breed in their gardens.  This book shows you what to grow to provide them with nectar, how to encourage them to breed, and how to manage your garden in a butterfly-friendly way.   Jenny Steel
