Attracting butterflies to your Garden in Australia
By Densey Clyne

After the fires - rebuilding the Wirreecoo Wildflower Garden
During Christmas 2001, bushfires burnt through the Lady Denman Heritage Complex in Huskisson on the NSW South Coast. Within the complex was the Lady Denman Garden created in 1985 by the Nowra Group of the Australian Plant Society. The fire nearly destroyed the garden with only a few plants surviving. With enthusiasm and better knowledge, the group have started to design a new garden with the aim to make it even better than the previous one.
