Today is National Plant A Flower Day!

Now lets talk about attracting butterflies to your garden!

Follow these tips for attracting butterflies:

🔸 Minimize pesticide use.

🔸 Pick a sunny site for planting.

🔸 Choose plants they can use: Adults need nectar, caterpillars need host plants to munch.

🔸 Plan the layout of your plants: Plant in groups of the same flowers rather than individual plants of the same kind scattered in the garden.

🔸 Add some native plants to your garden. Many native plants have good sources of nectar, and also are host plants that butterflies seek out to lay eggs.

🔸 Add some water. The easiest way for butterflies to drink is from a puddle so that they don't get too wet.

🔸 Provide shelter.
