Basic Design Elements for the Butterfly Garden

Keep these basic things in mind when planning your garden location and design.

Butterflies like:

  • sunny locations

  • shelter from wind

  • nectar-rich blooms

  • host plants where they can lay eggs

  • moist sand or mud for 'puddling'

  • flat rocks or other light colored flat surfaces for basking

When planning your garden, don't forget a nice observation spot for yourself so you can enjoy the results of your work!
