| Summary |
"Transforming your garden into a wildlife habitat means designing the garden planting scheme to cater for different species. For instance, butterflies sometimes rely exclusively on a specific plant, like the Swordgrass Brown Butterfly which lays eggs on the gahnia plant and the larvae hatch and feed on the foliage. Nector, seed and insect-eating birds can all be provided for by a careful selection of Australian trees, shrubs, groundcovers and annuals. And in lean times you can attract birds with your homemade bird puddings."--BOOK COVER |
