With an ever growing awareness of our declining Flora & Fauna, interest in
conservation and attracting wildlife into our gardens is becoming more
popular.  Loss of habitat in the wild has caused a decline in our native
butterfly species. Providing a predator free environment for native
butterflies local to the area, which can then be released, will help boost
the UK population.

Encouraging butterflies to breed in a garden is a tricky prospect; female
butterflies can be very picky. A netted outdoor structure planted with
Nectar Source and Caterpillar Food plants will enable native butterflies to
breed in their natural habitat without the added danger of predators eating
their pupae.



If you do not have room for an outdoor structure, getting butterflies into
your garden is the first step, getting them to stay and breed and therefore
build up the declining numbers is the second and important one. Butterfly
gardens do not have to look messy or unstructured; many butterfly friendly
plants can be grown beautifully within a current garden set up.

A garden planted with a variety of nectar rich flowers that provide food at
different times of year is a perfect habitat for a butterfly. Plants such as
Lavender, Aubrietia, knapweed, primrose, cowslip and scabious work
wonderfully in a border backed by larger shrubs such as buddleja.

It is not just our native species that are in danger. With the destruction
of the rainforest, many exotic species are also on the verge of dying out.
By having a tropical environment for these species to thrive in, we can
provide a sustainable living for the butterfly farmers and help to develop
and protect the rainforests in which they live and work.

Most Conservatories and Greenhouses make excellent Indoor Butterfly Gardens
for the Tropical Species. These are a great education tool as Children can
observe the life cycle first hand and learn about the Environment and
Ecology of the Rainforest habitats.
