I am developing a garden that will attract butterflies indigenous to my area, and hopefully a few that would not normally stay in suburbia, by researching food and larval plants, and matching them with indigenous plants, then selecting for my garden situation and suburban location.
It is a bit of a journey, as lists of indigenous plants for now developed areas are not easy to come by. But we are getting there.
I am living in a rental property, which means I have some limits – I can’t change too much in the way of location of garden beds, or knock down too many walls :)
But I am allowed to do whatever I like in the gardens, providing I look after them.
