Butterfly Gardens

Butterfly gardens are specialized gardens designed to attract and support butterflies and other pollinators by providing food sources, shelter, and breeding areas. These gardens typically include a variety of flowering plants, such as milkweed, coneflowers, and butterfly bushes, which offer nectar and habitat for different butterfly species. Butterfly garden projects involve selecting plants that are native to the area and known to attract butterflies, designing the garden layout to provide a mix of sun and shade, and ensuring the availability of water sources. The garden may also include features like rocks for basking, sheltered areas for protection, and signs for educational purposes. Butterfly gardens not only contribute to the conservation of pollinators but also add vibrant color and movement to the landscape, making them a popular choice for both residential and public spaces.
