A butterfly garden is a specially designed outdoor space that attracts and supports butterflies. These gardens typically include a variety of nectar-rich flowers, such as milkweed, coneflowers, and zinnias, which provide food for adult butterflies. Additionally, they often feature host plants where butterflies can lay their eggs, ensuring a habitat for their larvae. Creating a butterfly garden also involves providing shelter and water sources. Gardeners may include rocks, logs, or shrubs for butterflies to rest and hide from predators. By planting a diverse range of plants and maintaining a healthy environment, butterfly gardens contribute to local ecosystems and promote biodiversity.
