Book Cover & Preview Text
The monarch butterfly numbers have been slowly declining the last few years. In an effort to help the numbers grow, the United State is on a mission to plant as many pesticide free milkweed plants in as many places as possible. I wanted to be a part of this great effort. This book is a basic guide to building a small butterfly garden that attracts the monarch butterfly and other butterfly species. Included is a step-by-step guide on how to raise monarch butterflies indoors.
