A reader left a comment yesterday and while replying to him I happened to visit his blog, a really nice personal site that features a great collection of butterfly photos.  We love our butterflies here at the farm and have put together some pre-planned butterfly attracting gardens that will get you started attracting butterflies to your home landscape. Once you get them there, don't spray! Pesticides don't just get rid of pest; they usually take the butterflies and bees along with them. Here's a link to a great article about gardening for butterflies written by the staff at Stargazer Perennials Farm and Nursery.
