Airplanes in the Garden

“In this delightful, colorful children’s book, a young girl’s imagination is set afire when she discovers monarch butterflies in the family garden. Like these colorful insects, her thoughts begin to fly as she traces the metamorphose stages from egg to garden beauty of these tiny “airplanes.” In a supplement to the story, the author relates many interesting facts about butterflies. These include illustrations of their migration patterns, stages in their development, and plants that attract butterflies to the garden.”

“I can’t think of a more rewarding, long-lasting summer strategy for entertaining (and stealthily educating) youngsters than reading this fancifully illustrated, engagingly written, instructional book.”

Your inspiration to write this book was truly a gift to all who read it. Exciting and educating people about the wonders of nature is right in line with our mission – to stimulate an appreciation for and an understanding of the world of horticulture and the enduring relationship between plants and people.”
