Butterfly Gardens
A Butterfly Garden is a specially designed outdoor space that attracts and supports 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 different butterfly species.
In addition to enhancing biodiversity, Butterfly Gardens serve as educational tools, helping people learn about the life cycle of butterflies and the importance of pollinators in ecosystems. They can be found in public parks, schools, and private homes, promoting conservation and appreciation for nature.
