Grow a Butterfly Garden

by Wendy Potter-Springer

A-114; 32 pages; 5 1/2" x 8 1/2"; Paperback.

The destruction of habitat is killing butterflies. Shopping malls, parking lots, and pesticide-laden crop fields have taken over the quiet, grassy meadows and sunlit glens that once served as breeding grounds for many butterflies. Want to make a difference in the lives of these beautiful, delicate flying creatures? Plant a butterfly garden!

You don't need a large area to have a successful butterfly garden teeming with winged color. You can grow one in a window box, in pots on your terrace, or in a small patch of yard space. This booklet shows you which plants to grow and where to plant them to attract an abundant butterfly population. You'll even learn how to identify different species of butterflies and how to raise butterflies from chrysalises in your own home.
