One of my great aims with our garden and small farm is to support butterflies and moths. Both day and night flying moths, but with a tiny lean to make sure the day flying butterflies and moths have a good look in, so that we can enjoy them too.

Here I’ll give you an simple mix of easy wildflowers and grasses to grow together in a sunny patch that is only 1 metre square. If you have more space, simply multiply the numbers per extra meter.
