Sean Patton and Kendall Southworth, specialists increating aquatic ecosystems for pollinators and other wildlife, share their knowledge and skills in this guidebook for creating aquatic butterfly gardens in Florida. Of the nearly two hundred butterfly species that call Florida home, more than seventy are closely associated with aquatic ecosystems, and their survival and reproduction depends on the trees, shrubs, wildflowers, grasses, and vines that color and compose these habitats. Florida has lost more than nine million acres of wetlands (more than any other state), but the countless water bodies that remaineverything from backyard ponds to tidal marshesprovide opportunities to create healthy, resilient hotspots for pollinators and humans alike. Patton and Southworth cover these underrepresented and undervalued aquatic ecosystems and show how they can be used to create the critically important habitats necessary for the butterflies of Florida.
