Gardening for Butterflies by The Xerces Society

Gardening for Butterflies by The Xerces Society

This book came out in 2016, and the subtitle is How You Can Attract and Protect Beautiful, Beneficial Insects.

In this book, gardeners get practical and expert advice from the Xerxes Society on all things butterflies.

You will learn why butterflies matter, why they are in danger, and what simple steps we can take to make a difference.  

Gardeners will appreciate learning about the best blooms to attract the garden's prettiest winged visitors, like Penstemon, Pearly Everlasting, and Golden Alexanders.

There are sections on designing a butterfly garden, creating shelter, observing and conserving butterflies, and even tagging butterflies to help track migration. 

Gardening for Butterflies provides home gardeners with everything they need to create beautiful, beneficial, butterfly-loving gardens.
