The Suffolk Argus
New Butterfly Gardening Book Jan Miller-Klein of the North Wales Branch of Butterfly Conservation has been a friend of Suffolk Branch for many years, and a professional horticulturalist with a long-standing interest in butterflies. She has just written a book which will appeal to members thinking about improving their own gardens. Gardening for Butterflies, Bees and other beneficial insects goes deeper than many earlier publications on butterfly gardening. It is ‘A practical dip-into, easy to use guide, with all the latest knowledge about our disappearing insects. Hundreds of full colour photos of which plants to use, how to identify butterflies, bees and ladybirds and many years of different experts’ experience. With plans to copy from patio pots to garden borders and green roofs.’ It may be just what someone wants to give you for your birthday!
