Gardening for Butterflies and Bees

You may have seen that this year's Butterfly Count showed a devastating fall in butterfly numbers. Its so bad that a UK Butterfly Emergency has been declared.
The details of the count are at https://butterfly-conservation.org/news-...45bdf23bce

I plan to grow more Butterfly flowers and food plants next year to do my bit for butterflies. 

This page has info on the best plants to grow https://butterfly-conservation.org/how-y...utterflies

The best plants for nectar are:-
Buddleia
Verbena Bonariensis
Lavender
Perennial wallflower (Bowles Mauve)
Marjoram/Oregano

There's a more detailed list of plants to download and a list of food plants. 

This is going to be one of my projects for 2025. Will you join me?
