Creating a Garden for Butterflies

The reasons may be numerous but one good reason is a fun educational project to do with your family. Butterflies are around for a very short time and they will spend that time in sunny areas. Try to plant your garden in a spot that will get that daily sun.Butterflies are attracted to brightly colored flowers and will feed on the nectar flowers produce. Different flowers will attract different types of butterflies.

They will also require a water source. Like a garden landscape type fountain with a pump that creates water motion and will provide a fresh water source. This water motion will prevent mosquito larva to develop and also provide a great water source for those summer birds too. So have some fun with the kids this summer with a beautiful flower garden that will attract butterflies too. You and your entire family will enjoy this project and surely love the results.
