Choose a sunny spot for your garden with a variety of nectar-rich flowers like lavender, milkweed, and coneflowers to attract butterflies.
Include host plants like parsley and dill for caterpillars to feed on. Avoid pesticides to create a safe environment for butterflies to thrive.
Provide a shallow water source like a birdbath with rocks for butterflies to drink from and mud puddles for essential minerals.
Create different heights in your garden with shrubs, tall flowers, and ground cover to offer shelter and resting spots for butterflies.
Teach children about the butterfly life cycle from egg to caterpillar to chrysalis to butterfly. Encourage observation and learning in the garden.
Engage children in planting and caring for the garden. Let them witness the magic of butterflies up close and inspire a love for nature and conservation.
