Attracting Butterflies to Your Wildlife Garden

Attracting Butterflies to your habitat garden

I had the honor of writing a guest post for the always delightful Marghanita Hughes of Little Humbugs.

Here you’ll find my thoughts on attracting more butterflies to your wildlife garden, which is a great way to get children involved in the magic of nature and wildlife gardening.

While you’re there, spend some time looking around Marghanita’s site. She brings the characters from her childrens book series to life in a dramatic and vivid way.

      What fabulous butterfly photos you included in the guest post Carole. I just love the first one. It’s my favorite among all the photos of yours I’ve seen. And the resource links look wonderful too. I will be checking them out as I plan plant additions to my garden.

      You’ve got me excited about making changes and inviting butterflies and hummingbirds to share my space.

    2. I seem to get quite a lot of butterflies in my garden. Not sure what it is that attracts them, but I imagine its a specific plant or flower. Wish I knew which one it was because then I could grab some more of them.

      So great knowing that a garden can be a haven for such precious wildlife.

      Can you give me some ideas on what plants attract more butterflies? Or ‘flutterbys’ as my little cousin calls them!
