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."
