I found this book a joy to read and a gold mine of information. It should be considered a must have for those gardeners who are keen to do their bit for nature and, in so doing, learn so much about these fascinating insects.

With the countryside under threat like never before, the UK’s gardens will prove to be an increasingly important sanctuary for butterflies. Steel explains what to plant and where in order to provide the right food and shelter throughout the year.
