Find out all about the butterflies that visit your garden
Green, indigenous gardening is all the rage these days, with more and more gardeners wanting to do more with their property than just growing plants. Butterflies - 'flying flowers' - are a natural part of this and any garden with copious flowers will attract them. More and more people want to know more about butterflies - such as their names, what plants they need, and how to recognise them.
A handy poster designed and published by butterfly expert Steve Woodhall is now available. This attractive, A1 (594mm x 841mm) wall poster, printed on glossy 150g paper, is an at-a-glance guide to the 40 species of butterfly most likely to be seen in gardens around Southern Africa. Photographs of each are accompanied by short notes on size, caterpillar food plants, habits and distribution.
The poster retails at R50 a copy, either from your local garden centre, butterfly house or bookshop, or direct from the author (contact details below). Trade enquiries are welcome and normal booksellers' discounts apply. Members of the public wishing to buy direct can do so by emailing an order to Steve at

. He will mail a copy in a protective tube at R65 including post and packing within South Africa.
