Choose nectar-rich flowers like coneflowers, lantanas, and salvias. Include host plants such as milkweed for caterpillars. Provide a water source like a shallow dish with pebbles.
Planting for Success
Select a sunny location with shelter from wind. Use organic soil and avoid pesticides. Group plants together to create 'pollinator pit stops' for butterflies.
Maintaining Your Garden
Regularly deadhead flowers to encourage more blooms. Keep the garden well-watered and mulched. Monitor for pests and diseases, opting for natural solutions.
