A Way to Garden with Margaret Roach – July 9 – Jane Hurwitz on Butterfly Gardening




MARGARET ROACH A WAY TO GARDEN show

Summary: <p>Jane Hurwitz says that her mission is simply this: to get more of us to garden with butterflies in mind. I suspect that sounds like something you wouldn’t mind being nudged to do, or do more effectively. <a href="https://janehurwitz.com/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Jane Hurwitz</a> is editor of “Butterfly Gardener” magazine, and former director of the Butterfly Garden and Habitat Program for the North American Butterfly Association. <img class="alignright size-medium wp-image-4673" src="https://i2.wp.com/robinhoodradioondemand.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/07/10-Hurwitz-Butterfly-Gardening-Book-Cover.jpg?resize=233%2C300&amp;ssl=1" alt="" width="233" height="300">Her new book from Princeton University is called <a href="https://amzn.to/2KXerRy" target="_blank" rel="noopener">“Butterfly Gardening, the North American Butterfly Association Guide,”</a> and offers practical advice—both the overall principles and also plant-specific palettes, region by region. We talked about the role of native and non-native plants, about what the Number 1 plant gardeners around the country credited as being an effective attractant, about taking into account the borrowed landscape around you, and what an adult butterfly looks for in a flower, anyway.<a href="http://www.robinhoodradio.com/donate.html"><img></a></p>
