Butterfly Garden
A Butterfly Garden is a specially designed outdoor space that attracts and supports various species of butterflies. These gardens typically feature a variety of nectar-rich flowers, host plants for caterpillars, and a sunny environment. Common plants include milkweed, coneflowers, and zinnias, which provide food and shelter for butterflies throughout their life cycle.
In addition to butterflies, these gardens can also support other beneficial insects and pollinators. Creating a Butterfly Garden can enhance local biodiversity, promote environmental awareness, and provide a beautiful, peaceful space for people to enjoy nature. They are often used in educational programs to teach about ecosystems and conservation.
