Turn a section of your garden into a butterfly haven!

Here are a few vital tips to creating a successful butterfly garden:

• Choose a sunny location.
• Include nectar plants to attract and feed the butterflies.
• Use host plants for the butterflies to lay their eggs on and the caterpillars to munch on.
• Add large, bright splashes of color like red, yellow, and purple.
• Avoid using pesticides in or near your butterfly garden as this can harm the butterflies and caterpillars.
• Enjoy watching the butterflies!

Follow these tips and you will have a successful and thriving butterfly garden.

Anybody can sell you plants, we make sure you succeed.
