Butterfly Gardening by R. Lincoln Brower

"Butterfly Gardening" by R. Lincoln Brower emphasizes creating gardens that attract and support butterflies through native plants rich in nectar and larval hosts. It highlights the importance of planting a variety of flowering plants that bloom throughout the seasons, providing food for adult butterflies, while also including specific host plants to sustain caterpillars. Brower underscores the ecological benefits of such gardens, including pollination and biodiversity, and offers practical advice for designing, planting, and maintaining spaces that foster butterfly populations, ultimately helping to conserve these vital pollinators.
