Abstract
A butterfly garden has been opened in the forest park at Drum Manor, County Tyrone, Northern Ireland (U.K.). It is designed to attract a large population of native butterflies and to allow them to be observed easily, in their adult and developmental stages, by naturalists and the general public. Besides contributing to the conservation of butterflies, it serves as an educational demonstration of how to combine formal with semi‐wild gardening in the interests of nature conservation. Lists of natural and substitute food‐plants and nectar flowers suitable for such gardens are given.This publication has 0 references indexed in Scilit:
