You can attract butterflies and birds in your yard without too much effort. We have created a number of sample garden designs you can use in your yard or modify to use plants you like. We also have a list of plants that support butterflies in different ways to help you individualize your butterfly garden. In order to support healthy populations of butterflies, we need to have both nectar-producing and larval host plants, so consider that as you choose your plants.
