104. How To Create A Butterfly Garden How to create a butterfly garden. Flower gardening is an enjoyable and rewardinghobby, but even more so when you provide a habitat for butterflies. http://nene.essortment.com/createbutterfly_rbyp.htm

How to create a butterfly garden Learn how to create a butterfly garden and sustain these creatures in their own habitat you made yourself. Flower gardening is an enjoyable and rewarding hobby, but even more so when you provide a habitat for butterflies. Theyre a joy to watch and if you happen to be a photographer, a wonderful subject to capture on film. Make these activities easier by planting your own butterfly garden. Dont be surprised if your future ecosystem is the talk of the (butterfly) town! To create an ecosystem to support butterflies you must have both host and nectar plants. Butterflies lay their eggs on the host plants. The caterpillars that result use the host plant for their food source and then form their chrysalis there. If youre lucky, you may even get the chance to watch a butterfly emerge from its cocoon. The nectar plants need the sun to produce nectar for the butterflies it is their food source. Choose fragrant plants because the butterflies are attracted to strong scents. Make your choices colorful too, because butterflies are attracted to several bright colors including orange, yellow, purple and dark pink. bodyOffer(25245) PREPARATION AND PLANTING Prepare the area you wish to transform as you would a flower garden. The butterfly garden must be in a spot that receives full sun, however. Butterflies need the sun to warm themselves so that they may fly. Remember that to support both host plants and nectar plants you will need a fair amount of space. An alternative is to plant the host plants in a different area of your yard next to a shed, behind a garage, etc. Plant the flowers in a group by themselves if you wish. Make any amendments to the soil if necessary. Use compost to give your plants a good start.

Search FamilyFun Tools Home Project Finder Weekend Project Guide Gardening Ideas ... Solutions A to Z Butterfly Garden A gardening idea from FamilyFun by Stephen R. Swinburne of 3 It's a sparkling summer day, and in the flower garden in the front yard the butterflies have arrived: Monarchs on the zinnias. White admirals on the purple coneflowers. Fritillaries on the black-eyed Susans. It's a magical sight, but it's really no surprise. Attract these gentle visitors by planting precisely the types of nectar-producing flowers that butterflies love. Materials As it turns out, butterflies are easily attracted to yards and gardens. Plant their favorite flowers in a protected yet sunny spot. The first step is to find a site for the butterfly garden, ideally one that received at least six hours of sun a day and offered shelter from the wind. When choosing the perfect spot make sure there is wind block nearby like a protective picket fence, a nearby row of shrubs or evergreen treesor even a rock. Next, decide what flowers to plant, use garden books that have a Top 10 list of nectar-producing varieties that would keep a flock of butterflies happy. Plant five annuals ( i.e. ageratum, impatiens, marigold, zinnia and cosmos) and five perennials ( i.e. coreopsis, butterfly weed, purple coneflower, black-eyed Susan and bee balm).

Transform an ordinary backyard into a Garden Paradise Garden Decor Arbors, Trellises, Planters, Birdhouses, Lighting and Garden Art Gardening isn't just a way to turn plain into pretty. It feeds the soul, nourishes our love for beauty and our urge to create. Our gardens are our own pieces of paradise, our own works of art that are reflections of ourselves. Our garden decor items are carefully crafted by artists who take immense pride in the items that they produce and who make a living wage. These are not items that are mass-produced in what are commonly known as "sweatshops." Taking pride in their art means our artists stand behind their work and want you to receive the utmost joy from their creations. Using quality materials, our artisans create garden art that is solidly constructed and meant to give years of service in your garden, yard or home. Tired of your boring yard or garden? Garden decor and garden art is one way to spice up your view. Sometimes a garden is boring simply because it is empty, devoid of anything and everything but lawn. With water conservancy becoming more and more of an issue, maybe it's time to think of something other than grass. A well-mulched bed of native flowers certainly takes less water than water-thirsty Kentucky Bluegrass.

Search Birding / Wild Birds My Hummingbird and Butterfly Garden In the haven, I have a large bed almost 40 feet long that I have devoted to plants to attract hummingbirds and butterflies. Come with me on a tour of this area this week. Remember, hummingbirds feed mainly on nectar, supplementing their diet with small insects also. Tubular flowers that are in the open allow the hummers to hover while feasting on the nectar of the flower. Here are some examples of good hummingbird plants: Abelias Agastaches Bee Balms (Monarda) Buddleia (Butterfly Bush) Cannas Cape Honeysuckle Cardinal Flower Columbines Coral Honeysuckle Cross Vine Delphiniums Desert Willow Firecracker Plant Firecracker Vine Foxglove Fushsia Hibiscus Indian Paintbrush Iris Kniphofia (Red Hot Poker) Liatris Mexican Bush Sage Ocotillo Penstemons Phlox Rhododendron Salvias Scarlet Runner Bean Shrimp Plant Snapdragons Snapdragon Vine Trumpet Vine Butterflies need both nectar plants as well as host plants. Obviously nectar plants are a food source for the adult butterflies. Butterflies prefer a flatter flower than hummingbirds since they do not have the long bill of the hummers. A host plant is one that the adult butterflies will lay eggs on. The hungry baby caterpillars eat the leaves of these plants, growing fast and soon forming a cocoon and developing into a butterfly. Some species of butterflies are very particular and will only lay eggs on a certain plant, other species are not quite so choosey. If you want to attract this species of butterfly to your garden, find out both the nectar and host plants that species prefers. Check the
