The Gardener and the Moth: Planting for Moths and Butterflies

By Susie White

Learn how to create a garden that works both day and night for moths and butterflies, attracting stunning species and helping them to thrive.

Moths are a crucial but forgotten pollinator, often overlooked in favour of their brighter cousin--the butterfly. But, by ignoring moths, we are missing out on gardens that could be filled with more joy, movement and biodiversity. If we could build gardens that pay both pollinators the attention they deserve, we might just be rewarded with healthier, more beautiful ecosystems...

Susie White has spent over a decade constructing a lively, abundant wildlife haven that values life, variety and growth, of which both moths and butterflies are a crucial part. In this compact volume, she teaches us how to find plants that attract moths and butterflies, how to support these insects through their larval stages, and how to identify and study them.

As with so many insects, numbers of moths and butterflies have declined dramatically in recent years. Actively creating a beautiful garden that welcomes all forms of life is a simple but joyful step to take towards protecting them.
