Hi! I have recently been made the director for developing an undergraduate major in sustainability at the college where I work. I would like to have as a first year project the development of a sustainable butterfly garden using native plants (and no pesticides!!!!!)
So, I come seeking advice - you will find I am a willing student. What plants do you recommend for Springfield MA - zone 6 with typically reasonable rainfall most of the growing season and snow during the winter.
What kinds of butterflies are we likely to attract? What special care should we take? Are there any books you recommend the college purchases?
Thanks a gazillion.
Michaela in Springfield.
