Love butterflies? Attract them to your own backyard or schoolyard by planting a Butterfly Habitat Garden. Learn how to create a beautiful Butterfly Garden of your own with our instruction packet.
You'll learn how to create a garden filled with the plants necessary to attract and support the complete lifecycle of our native butterflies. Host plants provide the proper source of nutrition for caterpillars and attract egg-laying adult female butterflies. Nectar-rich plants are a food source for adult butterflies.
Purchase of this packet supports Texas Discovery Gardens' mission to "restore, conserve, and preserve nature in the urban environment" and demonstrate "the interrelationship of Butterflies, Bugs, and Botany."
