Description

Author Mathew Tekulsky wrote the first book on butterfly gardening for North America, nearly 40 years ago!

Butterfly gardening is the practice of attracting beautiful butterflies to your garden by growing common plants and flowers that they use for food and nectar.

This fun and wonderfully simple activity will bring colour, light, and beauty to your garden and home.

With the relaxing and rewarding qualities of this outdoor hobby, it’s not hard to see why it’s sweeping the nation and growing in popularity. How to Create a Butterfly Garden is a complete, step-by-step guide to gardening for butterflies.

You’ll learn about: The butterfly life cycle, habitats, and behaviours Choosing and obtaining food and nectar sources Designing your garden Options for country, suburban, and city gardens Fifty common garden butterflies and the plants they like Butterfly observation and conservation This guide will teach you everything you need to get started—whether you’re a suburban resident, the owner of a small urban garden, an apartment dweller, or a keeper of a country estate, you can enjoy frequent butterfly visits to your garden or window box.

The key, Tekulsky believes, is learning some basic knowledge of butterfly characteristics and behaviour and knowing how to meet the needs of the butterfly species most common in your neighbourhood. Not only is butterfly gardening one of the easiest ways to enjoy these enchanting creatures, but it’s also a wonderful way to help conserve natural butterfly populations for generations to come.
