Plant a butterfly bush
What could be lovelier than watching swallowtails, cabbage whites, monarchs, or other butterflies swooping gracefully around your garden? Welcoming pollinators like butterflies to your garden requires choosing plants with attractive nectar for baby caterpillars, like zinnia, marigold, milkweed, verbena, and most flowering herbs. Long grasses, open patches of damp soil, and warm sunny rocks are also natural habitat enhancers for butterflies. Today, challenge yourself to start making your garden a butterfly haven.
