I found it helpful to research which plants attract butterflies in my area. I made sure to include a variety of flowers that bloom at different times of the year to provide nectar all season long. Adding some host plants, like parsley or dill for caterpillars to munch on, can also help attract more butterflies to your garden.

Oh, I'm so excited about this topic! 🦋 Starting a butterfly garden is such a beautiful idea! One thing I've learned is to choose native plants that attract butterflies and provide nectar. Plants like butterfly bush, milkweed, and coneflowers are some of my favorites. Also, having a variety of flowers that bloom at different times throughout the season ensures a continuous food source for the butterflies. As for design, consider adding a shallow water source like a birdbath or small pond for butterflies to drink from. And don't forget to include some sunny spots for them to bask in the warmth. Can't wait to see everyone's butterfly gardens take flight! 🌸🦋
