The Organic View show

Summary: Butterflies are beautiful to see but are also a sign that your garden is healthy and fertile. In order to attract these beautiful pollinators, there are several things you need to know.  Once you attract certain kinds of butterflies, you can also tag them and learn about the data that is collected in order to help them thrive and survive. The hardest part is learning to recognize the host plants, eggs and how to feed the caterpillars before they go through metamorphosis. Once they become butterflies, capturing their essence in photographs is also an amazing experience that can be fun for all. In this segment of The Organic View Radio Show, host, June Stoyer will speak to Master Gardener and Butterfly Garden expert, Ed Kenny of GardenEdDesigns.com about attracting these beautiful pollinators to your yard.
