Plant Your Own Butterfly Garden.
Want Monarch Butterflies near your home?
Then plant a butterfly garden and bring butterflies to your area. Butterfly gardening adds beauty to your yard and provides habitat for butterflies. Much critical butterfly habitat has been lost, so any butterfly- friendly terrain we provide as gardeners can help many species survive. Butterfly gardening is easy to do; you need to follow a few simple guidelines: choose a sunny location, plant both caterpillar food plants and species that provide nectar for butterflies, avoid using pesticides and herbicides, remember not to throw away plant debris (chrysalises may be 
Tips:
1. Butterflies need direct sunlight . Butterflies are cold blooded, so they use the sun to warm up their bodies. Pick a sunny location for your garden, and place a few flat stones around so the butterflies can rest while warming up. 2. Butterflies need water just like we do. Butterflies prefer to land on moist dirt or sand on the sides of puddles, rather than directly in the water itself. Keep a mud puddle damp in your garden, or fill a bucket with sand and enough water to make the sand moist. 3. Don’t use pesticides in your garden! Pesticides can harm butterflies, birds and other insects in your garden. 4. Purple, orange, yellow or red flowers are best at attracting butterflies , but they are also attracted to areas with host plants on which they can lay eggs (the host plant for Monarch Butterflies is Milkweed). 5. Butterflies need shelter from weather, such as wind and rain, and a place to rest at night. Planting your garden near shrubs and trees will give them the shelter they need. 6. Try to plant a variety of species with different blooming times, colors and heights. This will create a garden that is not only interesting to look at, but will attract many kinds of butterflies for a longer period of time.
