Butterfly Garden
Welcome to our butterfly garden where you will commonly find a dozen or so different species of butterflies at any given time. To attract butterflies to your garden and keep them there, you must provide both larval plants for caterpillars, nectar sources for the butterflies they become, as well as nesting sites and a water source. Some favorite nectar and food sources of butterflies are mostly considered weeds by us. The “weeds” that you will see growing here just for them include: Tassel-flower (Emilia spp.), Beggar’s Tick (Bidens spp.) and Mistflower (Conoclinium coelestinum).
