You can plant these flowers in pots, flower boxes, or in your garden. Also, butterflies love pieces of melon. Reduce or eliminate insecticides and herbicides. In no time you will have lots of butterflies.
Place pavers in the garden so your child can follow a path to observe the flowers, insects and birds.
