Why Travel to the Country
to see Butterflies?
Bring them to your yard every single day.
Butterfly Gardening brings the "Wild Kingdom" into your yard and neighborhood. You don't have to watch a Nature Show on The Discovery Channel™ or travel for hours to a state park - you can experience it first-hand in your own butterfly garden.
I got involved in Butterfly Gardening through a need to learn about butterflies. As a professional speaker I use the Monarch Butterfly as a metaphor for people changing their lives
While I had been a gardener for 25 years, when it came to insects, I was inclined to follow the slogan of "Kill em all and let God sort them out." While I might try to be organic and use more natural means, I viewed caterpillars and other such creatures as pests who just wanted to eat my carefully tended plants.
After joining the North American Butterfly Association™; reading many books and surfing the Internet for hours I started my adventure into Butterfly Gardening with just $20 worth of plants from a local nursery. I was lucky that first year because my Milkweed plants attracted the attention of some early Monarch butterflies and I was soon raising my first caterpillars. It turned into a passion I hope to enjoy for the rest of my life.
If
you like to surround yourself with beautiful plants, flowers and butterflies,
and experience action and adventure, bullies and bravery, death and destruction,
exploration and excitement, change and constant movement then, butterfly
gardening is for you.
I've got some butterfly gardening tips in the column on the left plus
the Butterfly Gardening Ezine will keep you up on the latest.
Happy Butterfly Gardening !
