Linda Auld is the third generation owner of Barber Laboratories
and author of BugLady’s Butterfly Summer. In this podcast, Auld
discusses her new book and explains the important role insects play
in our gardens and throughout the planet.
Auld’s specialty is butterflies. Her book is the result of field
research she conducted while collecting and studying butterflies
and native plants.
In today’s high-tech, fast-paced culture, many people are removed
from nature. In BugLady’s Butterfly Summer, Auld offers examples of
how we can connect with nature and begin to see the small things
that make life fascinating and mysterious.
Every Saturday in September, Auld will be at various nurseries
throughout metropolitan New Orleans and beyond. She will offer tips
about how to attract butterflies by planting easy-to-grow native
plants.
