These 3 Julias are sunning themselves on this rock in our conservatory. Research natural methods to keep your garden healthy. Check your garden daily for common garden pests, if you do detect aphids or beetles, a fine spray of the garden hose should get rid of them. Protect larvae by not using pesticides. A butterfly garden can bloom from your deck or balcony or even a window box.
Butterflies have an extremely sensitive sense of smell.
They can identify their favorite plants from miles away and travel long distances just for the nectar. The trick is to include colorful flowering nectar plants and maybe a host plant or two for specific butterflies. Careful planning will result in the perfect invitation to those winged creatures for long term residency to your butterfly garden.
