Butterfly Garden
Frequently asked questions
How do I start a butterfly garden?
This task seemed a little overwhelming at first. But a friend of mine told me to buy the butterfly garden kits from Home Depot. It is the CWF Butterfly Plant pack. I felt it was value for money. Four small plants came with the pack. I bought a pack, dug a small garden in the back yard and planted.
Is it a lot of work to have a butterfly garden?
The work is in the digging and the planting. After the starter plants were in the ground, all I worried about was watering. I have had the garden in place for 3 years.
Have you seen any pollinators?
Yes. Bees, monarch butterflies as well as other butterflies visit the plants.
Did you expland the garden?
Yes, this year, I expanded the garden and purchased a couple of bird baths as well. It is not considered professional landscaping but it is a space that I worked on and am proud of.
