This emotional story underlines the fact that a family secret can be the driving force as to why loving relationships fall apart. There are many sad happenings in the story, which are both heart breaking and ever so tragic. The story is nicely woven between the events of Cornwall and the beaches and beauty of Costa Rico. ...and of course, there are the butterflies which bind mother and son with invisible wings. If you’ve got a sunny spot, you’ve got the foundations for a wonderful butterfly garden in your community space. Create one and not only will it support different species of butterflies – many of which have been in long term decline – it’s almost guaranteed to be a colourful showstopper. Your area could offer a tranquil space for people to relax while taking in one of our most beautiful and mesmerising native insects. Years ago, Maggie’s only son Lucas ran away to the other side of the world and the searing heat of the Costa Rican jungle. Maggie is desperate to see Lucas again – there is something she needs him to know.

Each chapter begins with a section of the memoirs which are written in the first person so we get a direct insight into Maggie’s life and emotional state. We discover that Maggie had a breakdown following the death of her daughter Skye and blamed her son Lucas. The overwhelming grief and Maggie’s descent into despair is utterly tragic to read. The Butterfly Garden is the debut novel from Sophie Anderson and it’s a dark, moody, atmospheric read. It’s very much a slow burner with a very slow and steady pace throughout which never quite builds to a crescendo of revelation rather like the mental state of the characters it maintains a measured and heavy feeling as the story develops. It had all the makings of a classic thrilling read, full of family secrets but yet I never became fully gripped and swept away by it. It’s a good read but I feel it only touches the tip of the iceberg in terms of what the author is potentially capable of. This book has the most gorgeous of covers and the title suggest the butterfly garden may very well play a pivotal role in the story, it does to a certain extent but not in the way I had imagined it. It’s more of an analogy that ties in with the story of Maggie and her son. James, David G. (September 1, 2019).

Overall an absolutely stunning unputdownable unique story that will whisk you to the beautiful Cornwall and stunning Costa Rica.

Educational groups can visit our Aquarium, Butterfly House, and temporary exhibitions at a reduced educational rate. As adults, butterflies feed mainly on nectar, but they have also evolved to consume rotting fruit, tree sap, and even carrion. [6] Supporting nectarivorous adult butterflies involves planting nectar plants of different heights, color, and bloom times. Butterfly bait stations can easily be made to provide a food source for species that prefer fruit and sap. In addition to food sources, windbreaks in the form of trees and shrubs shelter butterflies and can provide larval food and overwintering grounds. [7] "Puddling" is a behavior generally done by male butterflies in which they gather to drink nutrients and water and incorporating a puddling ground for butterflies will enhance a butterfly garden. [8] [9] While butterflies are not the only pollinator, creating butterfly habitat also creates habitat for bees, beetles, flies, and other pollinators [7] Reasoning [ edit ] A monarch waystation near the town of Berwyn Heights in Prince George's County, Maryland (June 2017) Dhuill, E.N.; Smyth, N. (2021). "Invasive non-native and alien garden escape plant species on the southern cliffs of Howth, Co. Dublin (H21)". Irish Naturalists' Journal. 37 (2): 102–108. While predominantly recommending regionally native plants, the book includes information on non-native plants. It also features informative interviews with experienced butterfly gardeners from across the United States. These gardeners share a wealth of information on plants and practices to draw butterflies to all kinds of gardens—from small suburban gardens to community plots and larger expanses. Depending on the zone, some butterfly attracting plants include: purple cone flower ( Echinacea purpurea), buttonbush ( Cephalanthus occidentalis), yellow cone flowers, sunflowers, marigolds, poppies, cosmos, salvias, some lilies, asters, coreopsis, daisies, Joe Pye Weed ( Eutrochium), verbenas, Blue Mist Shrub ( Caryopteris × clandonensis), lantanas, liastris, milkweed (especially for the monarch butterfly, whose caterpillars feed solely on this plant), zinnias, pentas, porterweeds, and others. [16] Avoid cultivars of plants that have "double flowers" as their reproductive parts have been converted into extra petals and therefore do not produce floral rewards for butterflies and other pollinators. [17] Care should also be taken to research a species to assure that it is not invasive in a given region.
