Book Review

Attracting Butterflies to your Garden

2nd edition. Lindsay Hunt et al. 2016. Butterfly Conservation South Australia Inc.

Have you ever wondered where all the butterflies have gone? Attracting Butterflies to your Garden is for those people who would like to see more of these beautiful creatures in the gardens of the Adelaide region.
This book shows how to encourage forty of the more common butterflies to visit and breed in your garden. Following an exploration of the fascinating life-cycle of the butterflies and the principles of ‘butterfly gardening’, each species is profiled, along with local native plants that butterflies like- and you’ll love- in your garden.
Several lifetimes of experience and knowledge are to be found in this book. The authors each have a specialist’s knowledge of butterflies, other insects, plants and gardening.
‘I commend this book…and believe it is a must-have for those interested in conserving our fragile earth and all its inhabitants’
